we have two class A & B:
class A{
var $settings;
function getinfo(){
$settings['domain']="mydomain";
$settings['pass']="1234";
return $settings;
}
}
class B extends A{
$ads = A::getinfo();
function makeurl(){
return "template/".$ads['domain'];
}
}
now i have an instance of B in my page, but i need "pass" , maybe some code like this:
$theme=new B();
$mypass = $theme->A->getinfo;
echo $mypass[$pass];
I know this code is full of faults , but i could not write a better one. is there any solution to access to password without making an instance of A?
Yes. It is as simple as this:
$theme = new B();
$mypass = $theme->getinfo();
echo $mypass['pass'];
You can also improve your classes a bit:
class A
{
var $settings;
function getinfo()
{
$this->settings['domain'] = "mydomain";
$this->settings['pass'] = "1234";
return $this->settings;
}
}
class B extends A
{
function makeurl()
{
$this->getinfo();
return 'template/' . $this->settings['domain'];
}
}
Why not call the settings variable in A from the B instance since B is a subclass of A?
If I understand you correctly, you're pretty close:
$theme=new B();
$settings = $theme->getinfo();
$mypass = $settings['pass'];
echo $mypass;
if B extends A, all protected and public members of A are inherited into B, so you can access them directly.
class A {
protected $foo;
public function __construct() { $this->foo = 1; }
}
class B extends A {
public function bar() {
echo $this->foo;
}
}
$b = B();
$b->bar();
Try this code:
<?php
class A
{
var $settings;
function getinfo()
{
$settings['domain'] = "mydomain";
$settings['pass'] = "1234";
return $settings;
}
}
class B extends A
{
function makeurl()
{
$ads = $this->getinfo();
return "template/" . $ads['domain'];
}
}
$theme=new B();
$mypass = $theme->getinfo();
echo $mypass['pass'];
What about making settings a public static variable in A? By making it a class variable you won't need an instance of A.
class A {
public static $settings;
// getter and setter methods here
}
// code elsewhere
echo A::$settings['pass'];
Also because your class B extends A it inherits the methods and properties, so you could call
$theme = new B();
$mySettings = $theme->GetInfo();
