Fair enough. I did not mean to be unclear. I actually did not use the
$this-> specifier BECAUSE I did not want to be able to access this
array anywhere but within the construct. Not defining a variable with
$this-> attached disallows other methods within the class from
accessing it, does it not? It certainly does not work anyway. Maybe
I'm missing something.
To your question though, nephish. I don't see a problem with what you
are doing. the Session variable, after all, is just another variable.
You can store many things in variables, as you obviously know. What
you're suggesting would work most efficiently if a single value was
returned from the object that the session variable is being assigned
to. For example:
$frank = new Person;
$_SESSION['auth'] = $frank->validate('frank');
class frank {
function validate($name) {
if ($name == auth (whatever method you choose to use for
authorization)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
if ($_SESSION['auth'] == true) {
echo "Yea! Fun to ensue!";
}
I'd probably not place the contents of the class directly into the
Session variable, but instead call the object to do whatever you want,
then return the data in an instance variable and assign THAT to the
Session variable. How does that sound?
$frank = new Person;
$frank->validate('frank');
$_SESSION['auth'] = $frank->authorized;
class frank {
function validate($name) {
if ($name == authorized (whatever method you choose to use for
authorization)) {
$this->authorized = true;
} else {
$this->authorized = false;
}
}
}
if ($_SESSION['auth'] == true) {
echo "Yea! Fun to ensue!";
}
