<?
class generic
{
var $test_1;
var $test_2;
function set_var($var_1, $var_2)
{
$this->test_1 = $var_1;
$this->test_2 = $var_2;
}
}
$something = new generic;
$something->set_var(10, 12);
echo $something->test_1 . "<br>\n";
echo $something->test_2 . "<br>\n";
?>
all classes do is organize data, its a nice way of doing it too. all the ->
is access that data/function.
Im not quite sure what you mean when you say "generic-> becomes something
twice" as far as I can see, nothing is becoming nothing.
