If you strip the function header from the included file, and include the
file in a function definition in the calling script you all inclued code
becomes part of the class definition, and can acces $this->var.
test.php:
<?PHP
class aClass {
private $number = 10;
public function funcOne () {
echo "In funcOne<br>";
}
public function funcTwo () {
include 'func2.php';
}
}
$anObj = new aClass();
$anObj->funcOne();
$anObj->funcTwo();
?>
func2.php:
<?PHP
echo "In funcTwo<br>";
echo $this->number;
?>
//output:
In funcOne
In funcTwo
10
You _can_ include a complete function definition inside a class method,
even one with the same name, but it will be seen as a func outside the
class definition(and therefor not generate a function redefinition error)
