Question

I’m fighting with code:

$worker = new Worker(); // :|
$worker->addWorker;
//testing                   
//testing
// $_SESSION['worker']->addWorker();
echo $_POST['name'];
echo $worker->name;

which should two last lines should show the same value. The assign method in class looks like that:

public function addWorker()
{
      $this->name = $_POST['name'];
      $this->surname = $_POST['surname'];
      $this->dob = $_POST['dob'];
      $this->skills = $_POST['skills'];
      $this->postcode = $_POST['postcode'];
      $this->street = $_POST['street'];
      $this->email = $_POST['email'];
      $this->tel = $_POST['tel'];
      $this->erefnumber = $_POST['erefnumber'];
}

I’v got declared class Worker properties. The problem is that I don’t have any error, $worker->name just gives anything. echo $_POST[‘name’] works fine.

Your code is almost fine, but you do:

$worker->addWorker;

while it should be:

$worker->addWorker();

Also, to improve readability of your code, I’d consider changing addWorker() to require array argument:

public function addWorker( array $postArray ) {
    $this->name = $postArray['name'];
    ....

and pass $_POST while invoking:

$worker->addWorker( $_POST );
