Access function in class php

I have a class like:

class bla_bla extends WP_Widget {

  function boo[]{
    return 'something';
  }

  ...
}

[it's a WordPress widget]

How can I access the boo[] function from outside the class? I want to assign the value returned by that function to a variable, like $var = boo[];

You can either access it directly or by instantiating the class:

$blah = new bla_bla[];
$var = $blah->boo[];

$var = bla_bla::boo[];

You must have an instance of that class to call it, for example:

$widget = new bla_bla[];
$var = $widget->boo[];

Otherwise, you can add the "static" keyword to the boo[] function, and you could call it like $var = WP_Widget::boo[]; but this changes the semantics and could break code.

First you need an instance of the class. Then you call the method [if it's public]. You should read some OOP tutorials as this is really basic stuff. See Object Oriented PHP for Beginners.

$bla = new bla_bla[];
$var = $bla->boo[];

Short writing style:

$bla = [new bla_bla]->boo[];

PHP - Access Modifiers

Properties and methods can have access modifiers which control where they can be accessed.

There are three access modifiers:

public - the property or method can be accessed from everywhere. This is default
protected - the property or method can be accessed within the class and by classes derived from that class
private - the property or method can ONLY be accessed within the class

In the following example we have added three different access modifiers to three properties [name, color, and weight]. Here, if you try to set the name property it will work fine [because the name property is public, and can be accessed from everywhere]. However, if you try to set the color or weight property it will result in a fatal error [because the color and weight property are protected and private]:

Example

In the next example we have added access modifiers to two functions. Here, if you try to call the set_color[] or the set_weight[] function it will result in a fatal error [because the two functions are considered protected and private], even if all the properties are public:

How can I access a function inside a class in PHP?

You need to call newTest to make the functions declared inside that method “visible” [see Functions within functions]. But that are then just normal functions and no methods. Show activity on this post.

How can I access a method from another class in PHP?

php call method from another class.

$classA = new ClassA[];.

$name = $classA->getName[];.

echo $name; //Prints John..

Can you call a function within a class?

To call a function within class with Python, we call the function with self before it. We call the distToPoint instance method within the Coordinates class by calling self. distToPoint . self is variable storing the current Coordinates class instance.

How can I access private function in PHP?

php //Accessing private method in php with parameter class Foo { private function validateCardNumber[$number] { echo $number; } } $method = new ReflectionMethod['Foo', 'validateCardNumber']; $method->setAccessible[true]; echo $method->invoke[new Foo[], '1234-1234-1234']; ?>
