Hi again, I have my php file as follows:
class khronos_punching_form extends moodleform {
...
function display () {
$endtime = ...;
...
}
function definition () {
// I need $endtime here
...
}
...
}
My question is how I can take a variable from display frunction for use in definition function. With global variables I can not get the value of any variable. How should I do it?
Thanks
Perhaps define a class property eg:
class khronos_punching_form extends moodleform {
var $endtime;
...
function display () {
$this->endtime = ...;
...
}
function definition () {
echo $this->endtime;
...
}
}
You could also pass it into the form instance as the second parameter and reference it using $this->_customdata eg
$myform = new khronos_punching_form(null, $endtime);
Hope that helps
Cheers,
Shane.
I'm trying to use like you say. I declare a var $endtime, in display I do $this->endtime = something, and later in definition I do for example, echo $this->endtime; I don't obtain any value.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't the definition() function called before the display() function? (You can't display a form you haven't defined!)
In which case, setting the variable in the display function after you have tried to use it in the definition function is never going to work.
You're right. Thanks.
