OO question

[earachefl]

Just get started with OO in PHP. If I create an object while on one page and then call another page, can I still access that first object, or is it destroyed when the second page is called? For example, if I have on page1.php:

 

$obj = new $MyObject();

 

and then call page2.php, is it possible to still access $obj while on that page?

No.  You would need sessions to carry vars across pages.  Or if it is long lasting store it in a database.

You would need to use a $_SESSION variable -

 

Page where object is created -

<?php
// the class definition must exist before the session_start() so that the object can be recreated 

session_start();

$_SESSION['obj'] = new $MyObject();

 

Page that references the object -

<?php
// the class definition must exist before the session_start() so that the object can be recreated 

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['obj']->some_property;

echo $_SESSION['obj']->some_method();
