Question

I have two classes :

class A {
    public function load() {
        $var = new some_class();
        return $var;
    }
}

and

class B extends A {
    public function test() {
        $this->load();
        $var->some_method(); // ERROR : variable "$var" does not exists
    }
}

I want to access the local variable $var of the class “A” from class “B”, how can i do this?

Answer 1

just fill $var with $this->load();

class B extends A {
    public function test() {
        $var = $this->load();
        $var->some_method(); // WORKS
    }
}
