PHP Class Woes

[Roland0]

Hello Peeps,

I need some PHP help! I seem to get some kind of syntactical error, with a class, I have "paraphrased" the code here, and replicated the problem.

The Classfile.

<?php

class MyClass {
var $number
function biggerthanfive() {
    if ($this->number >= 5) {
        return (true);
    }else{
        return (false);
    }
}
}

?>

Which is included in this script:

<?php
    include "newClass.php";
    $myclass = new MyClass;
    $myclass->number = 8;
    $biggerthanfive = $myclass->biggerthanfive();
    
    if(!$biggerthanfive) {
        echo "number is lager than 5";
    } else {
        echo "number is not larger than 5";
    }

?>

I can't see anything really wrong with this, the biggerthanfive() function works fine as a standalone function, so I think its something to do with the contstructor? Noy only does it throws an error when I run it, but netbeans tells mea there is something wrong too I'm stumped, I have 2 Internets to give away to someone who can help put me in the right direction!

Many Thanks

Edit: the problem seems to be with the function in the class.

There's a lot of superfluous code in there, but other than that I can't see any breaking errors.

What error are you actually getting? What is the actual code you are using?

No worries ... Everybody makes school boy errors ... those who don't use an IDE and write dull manufactured code

The class method could be shortened to:

<?php

class MyClass {

  var $number

  function biggerthanfive() {
    return $this->number > 5;
  }
}
?>

Subliminal Aura spotted the copy and pasting mistake, should be greater than (>) not greater than or equal to (>=).

Another noob fail (copy and paste bad code) ....

I won't even bother telling you the problem with your code
