How can i make a multifunctional variable from a class? I have tried this, but i get the error Fatal error: Call to a member function doSomethingElse()
I have a class for example
class users { public_funtion getUser(){} public_funtion doSomethingElse(){} } I want to be able to call 2 functions in one call
$users = new Users() $user = $users->getUser()->doSomethingElse(); What is this called? and how do i get this?
It's simple, the first method must return the own instance, to do that you need to return $this in the first method, like that:
class Users { public function getUser(){ return $this; } public function doSomethingElse(){ } } than you can do that:
$users = new Users() $user = $users->getUser()->doSomethingElse(); I can't answer with 100% confidence, but give this a shot (you may need to return something in those functions, perhaps a constructor function as well as seen here?): how to call two method with single line in php?
Seperate Users and user
class users { public function getUser(){ bla(); return $user; } } class user{ public function doSomethingElse(){} } $users = new Users() $user = $users->getUser()->doSomethingElse(); if you make getUser static you can even strike the line where you create instance of class Users
I would not go for doing as much as I can in one line. Strife for readability!
Seems like you are looking for chaining. You need to return your objects to achieve the goal. Here is an example:
<?php class Users { public function getUser() { return $this; } public function doSomethingElse() { return $this; } } $users = new Users(); $user = $users->getUser()->doSomethingElse(); ?> 
return $this).
