I have protected function which creates a class object
protected function x() {
$obj = new classx();
}
Now I need to access the methods of the class object from different functions (I don't want to initialise again).
protected function y() {
$objmethod = $obj->methodx();
}
How can i get it done?
Oh both the functions exist in the same class say 'class z{}'
The error message is
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_verification() on a non-object in
Store $obj, the instance of classx in a property of ClassZ, probably as a private property. Initialize it in the ClassZ constructor or other initializer method and access it via $this->obj.
class ClassZ {
// Private property will hold the object
private $obj;
// Build the classx instance in the constructor
public function __construct() {
$this->obj = new ClassX();
}
// Access via $this->obj in other methods
// Assumes already instantiated in the constructor
protected function y() {
$objmethod = $this->obj->methodx();
}
// If you don't want it instantiated in the constructor....
// You can instantiate it in a different method than the constructor
// if you otherwise ensure that that method is called before the one that uses it:
protected function x() {
// Instantiate
$this->obj = new ClassX();
}
// So if you instantiated it in $this->x(), other methods should check if it
// has been instantiated
protected function yy() {
if (!$this->obj instanceof classx) {
// Call $this->x() to build $this->obj if not already done...
$this->x();
}
$objmethod = $this->obj->methodx();
}
}
