Question

I have like:

class Class2 extends Class1 {
.....
 function __construct() {
 parent::__construct();
   $var_in_included_file;
}   
}

class Class1 {
function __construct() {
 include_once('my_file.php')
}
.....
}

my_file.php:

$var_in_included_file=10;

The problem is that I cannot receive value of $var_in_included_file. Is there a way to receive this value without add many codice like:

$this->var=$var_in_included_file ....? 

Because I have many thousands of variables.
Thanks.
More abstract the problem is:
in some file I received (from $_POST) near 500 variable.
These variables have be elaborated in complicated way. For simplify this elaborating I need create tree of class inheritans – but in this case these variables will not seen in child classes without assigning them to class variables – but this produses enormous volume of code.

Answer 1

As explained in include() and variable scopes, when you include a file in your __construct() method, the scope of the variables in the file you’re including is limited to the __construct() method, not the class.

Your options would be to either change the content of the included file to include a $this-> in front of the variable name (i.e. $this->var_in_included_file = 10;) or add a $this->var_in_included_file = $var_in_included_file; in your __construct() method.
