Question

I am new to object php, I have the following concern:
is it possible to have one class included inside another class, and use it’s method like:

in Anotherclass.php file

  class Another
 {
    public $value = '';
    public function setValue($newvalue)
    {
      $this->value=$newvalue;
    }
    public function getValue()
    {
      return $this->value;
    }

 }

in Bootstrap.php file:

  require(Another.inc)
  class Bootstrap
 {
    public static function main($value)
{
    $obj =  new Another();
        $obj->  setValue($value)
       echo  $obj->getValue();  

     }
 }


  Bootstrap::main("test");

so when I call Bootstrap::main(“test”) in the Bootstrap.php file, can I get the output which is “test”? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You missed a semi-colon but with that fixed it works fine :

$obj->  setValue($value)

should be

$obj->  setValue($value);

and called with Bootstrap::main('test'); will output test

Working example with both classes in the same file : http://codepad.org/yHyNAoT5

I would suggest making

public $value = '';

private – this forces the use of the getter and setter methods rather than accessing directly
