I wonder if this is possible, although I'm quite convince maybe there is a better approach for this. I have this script structure:
class Mother {
public function __construct() {
// script here
}
public function writer() {
if() {
// if true
} else {
// call function hello
}
}
public function hello() {
echo "Hello there.";
}
}
How can I call hello() from writer()? Thanks.
Like so
public function writer() {
$this->hello();
}
$this is a reserved variable for classes, any class that is instantiated (called via new myClass) has access to $this, however if you're using a static class, you would need to define that function as static and use the static::myFunction approach, for example:
class exampleClass {
public static function exampleFunc() {
static::hello();
}
public static function hello() {
echo "Hello!";
}
}
exampleClass::exampleFunc();
$this is the best way to access functions inside the same class.// call function hello
$this->hello();
Also, your other functions are syntactically wrong. Note the parenthesis.
public function writer() {
public function hello() {
on my PHP 5.3.4 installation
public function hello() { }
seems to to available from another instance method in two ways
$this->hello()
self::hello()
Obviously,
$this
the reference to the instance will not be available when calling a public method as a class method
