I've encountered an issue where I am attempting to access a public variable from one class in another class, but it returns as a blank array.
The code snippet that I'm currently working on is as follows:
Class One:
class fruits {
public $ID = array();
private function getFruitID() {
$fruitID = array('1' , '2', '3' , '4' , '5' );
return $fruitID;
}
private function getFruitsName() {
$fruitName = array('apple' , 'orange' , 'kiwi' , 'grapes' , 'mango');
return $fruitName ;
}
public function getstock() {
$this->ID = getFruitID();
/* Prints the ID list here */
$this->name = getFruitsName();
/* This function renders to the template */
}
}
Class Two:
class TestPage{
public function displayFruits() {
require_once ('fruits.php');
$fruits = new fruits();
$data = $fruits->ID;
echo($data);
/* displays an empty array */
}
}
Upon attempting to echo $data within the displayFruits() method of the TestPage class, it only outputs an empty array instead of the actual IDs. I'm struggling to retrieve the IDs in the TestPage class. While I could use a return statement, it would limit me to access just one variable when I have multiple variables within that function. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
