guys lets say we have this class: all i want to do is to use a specific function to do something, think it as a button, but in a way that you have 1 public function and you can execute parts of it!
CLASS DATA {
public function X() {
function A() {
//do_something
}
}
}
and now i'm in the index.php and i want to call the function A() only. i tried $data->X()->A() but nothing i tried $data->X(A()) also nothing
is it possible this?
In the way you've written it, no. Looks to me like you're trying to build something in the way you would a Javascript application. But like Rizier123 points out you could do something like this.
class Foo {
public function getBar(){
return new Bar();
}
}
class Bar {
public function someFunction() {
}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$foo->getBar()->someFunction();
Although I'm not entirely sure why you would want to nest things that way when inheriting would be a better route. Something like this:
class Foo extends Bar {
}
class Bar {
public function someFunction() {
}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$foo->someFunction();
But I guess you could use the former as a way to pass specific constructor parameters in a consistent manor.
class Foo {
public function getRainbow(){
return new Bar('rainbow');
}
}
class Bar {
private $type;
public function __construct($type)
{
$this->type = $type;
}
public function someFunction() {
switch($this->type){
case 'rainbow':
echo 'All the way across the sky.';
break;
default:
echo 'Boring.';
break;
}
}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$foo->getRainbow()->someFunction();
