Question

i have this code

class  Hide {

    private $myname;
    function getmyname()
    {
        $myname = __class__;
        return $myname;
    }
}

class  damu {
    private static $name;
    public function name()

    {
    var_dump($this->name);
        if( $this->name == null ){
               $this->name = new Hide();
          }
          return $this->name;
    }
}

$run = new damu();
echo $run->name();

this giving me an error

Catchable fatal error: Object of class Hide could not be converted to string

what is the meaning of this and how to resolve this.

Answer 1

You should be returning

return $this->name->getmyname();

or define a tostring for the Hide class

public function __toString() {
     return "str";   }
