Im kind of a newbie at this and i was hoping for some help.
Im working on a class that will spawn a module type of object around content by typing the following into the body of my main page.
<?php
$a = new module("n","title","lots and lots of content");
echo $a->printit();
?>
the code to the actual class is as follows
<?php /* Spawn Module */
class module {
var $minimized;
var $title = "";
var $body = "";
function module ($m,$t,$b) {
$this->minimized = $m;
$this->title = $t;
$this->body = $b;
}
function printit() {
if ($this->minimized == "y") {
html code and junk for the minimized object
}
if ($this->minimized == "n") {
html code and junk for the maximized object
}
}
}
I pasted that in so its kinda sloppy but what i need help with is in the
if ($this->minimized == "y") { part of it i have html that make up the window wnd stuf and within the html i have a image button that when you click it i want to tell the object that $this->minimized = n ;
so i can do the opposite in the html code of the if ($this->minimized == "n") { part of is so i can get a minimizeing and maxamizing action going on but im not sure how to tell the object in a image type of button that the value of $this->minimized has changed to eithier y or n.
i have found stuff on how to write and structure classes but nothing on changing the value of a variable in an object through a button or something.
anything would help
thanks...

If understood you well, then the easyest way to make somethings like the body and title etc. you best could make an php file with the variables in it.
example:
this litle file you could the include in everypage, it's easy editable.
because your are using for everypage the include option.
I hope I understood you well

example:
Code: Select all
<?php
$body = bgcolor="black";
$body2 = bgcolor="white";
$font = font face="verdana";
$font2 = font face="arial";
$tdwidth = td width="500";
$tdwidth2 = td width="450";
?>this litle file you could the include in everypage, it's easy editable.
because your are using for everypage the include option.

I already use cascading style sheets to set bgcolor and all of that because all i need to put in the head of anypage is
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style1.css" type="text/css"/>
plus with using style sheets i can allow users to change the look and feel of my site.
What i need help with is a class that i created and saved in a seperate file called library.php and at the top of my main page i put
<?php require("library.php"); ?>
and i use the class in the body of the page with this
<?php
$a = new module("n","Title Here","Content content and more content"); echo $a->printit();
?>
that will insert a bunch of html into the page and in the midle of it all i have a button i want to use to tell the class or object to change the value of $this->minimized = "";
to
$this->minimized = "y";
or
$this->minimized = "n";
how would i go about doing that? my guess was
<a href="$PHP_SELF?this->minimized=y">
i tried a bunch of things like
<a href="$PHP_SELF?minimized=y">
but no luck.
I apreciate any help

php is server-side, the button rendered by the browser is client-side. There is no connection between these two worlds as soon as the document is delivered. You would need a complete new document request to bring php back in the game.
If you open the "source view" of your browser you will see that there are no <?php ... ?> blocks anymore (if your php-module/cgi is working
), because they have been replaced by the output generated by these blocks and this has taken place server-side, before the client received the document (not entirely correct but sufficient here). To catch client-side events you need a client-side script language such as javascript. e.g.

button.highlight { color: white; background-color: blue; }

{
if (elem.className.length > 0)
elem.className = "";
else
elem.className = "highlight";
}
