Accessing a public property of a class within the class

[Claus Mygind]

I am having some difficulty using an array in my class
let's say $_REQUEST['appData'] = array('foo'=>' ABC '}

I am using:
php 5.3
on a windows xP platform
running an Apache server v 2.xx
in a FireFox v 25.01 browser

use firephp, I can see that $p has been populated with the array before I try to access it.


What is the proper syntax for manipulating public variables within a class?

class aFill
{
  public $p;
  private $c;

  function addStuff()
  {
   // this works 
   $this->c['myArray'] = array();
   $this->c['myArray'][0] = 'something';

   //returns error "[B]Undefined index: foo[/B]"
   $this->p['foo']= trim($this->p['foo']);
   
   return $this->p;
  }
}

$a = new aFill;
$a->p = json_decode($_REQUEST['appData'], true);

/*
calling the method of the class to manipulate the $p property of the class
*/
$response = $a->addStuff();

Found my error. $_REQUEST['appData'] contained an array, I called parameters

so it should have been $_REQUEST['appData']['parameters']
