Variables in classes

[moeFinley]

How can I pass a variable out of a class?

I'm sure this is very simple, but I can't find out how. I think you put a
charater in front of the variable name, is this right?

Thanks for any help

I'm new to php oop also..but I can think of 2 ways to do this.

A: member vars in php are considered public as far as I know, so you should
be able to access them directly..i.e.
$blah = class::blah;
or
$blah = $class_Instance -> blah;

B: Include a getter method in your class description
$blah = $Instance -> getBlah();

someone please correct me if I'm wrong

This only works for class methods in php (certainly in v4)[color=blue]

This is the solution I posted for him in another group - he's asked this
question in multiposts everywhere!

Best way, yes, but I guess telling him this answer would then give rise
to "What is a getter/setter method"!...
