Re: Why does my class require the public accessor for my member?

Consider:

return $this->connection;

}
$database = new myClass();
$mytest = $database->getme();
echo $mytest;
echo "done";
?>
If I remove the "public $connection" above and have it just as
"$connection," I get nothing. Nothing loads, not start, done,
nothing, no html tags, no errors, nada. Make me thinks it's an error,
but when I use error_reporting, I get nothing also. If I put the
public modifier back in I get the results. I thought I could make
$connection private and access it from my accessor, getme().
What am I doing wrong? And, why doesn't php complain if I did my
class wrong? Thank you.
As Jerry has explained, it's not "display_errors on", it's
display_errors = On
Also, if you want to make class members private, use the "private"
keyword. Within a class definition, you have to precede property
declarations with a visibility keyword, or "var", which is equivalent
to "public", and exists for compatibility with PHP4. All of this info
is readily available in the PHP docs:
<URL:http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.visibility.php>
Example:
class Foo {
private $bar;
function getBar() {
return $this->bar;
}
}

Thanks. I left out the equals, but I have changed it to this:
; To output errors to STDERR with CGI/CLI:
;display_errors = "stderr"
;
; Default
;
display_errors = "stdout"
and have tried
display_errors = On
(no quotes)
but I never get the errors. Don't know why. I have restarted the
httpd server after making the change. Maybe IIS doesn't like it.
It's probably me.
First of all, display_errors="stdout" is invalid. It is either
display_errors=on or display_errors=off

Second of all, ensure you're changing the correct php.ini. phpinfo()
will show you which php.ini you're actually using, and the status of
display_errors.

You were correct. I was not using right php.ini. Sorry for bothering
everyone. Thank you for your help.


No trouble - it's a common problem in this newsgroup :-)
