Once you've created a class property, you can access the corresponding object's property value from within your calling code by using the following syntax:
$object->property;
The property name doesn't have a $ symbol before it.
Here's an example that shows how to define properties then set and read their values:
<?php class Truck { public $color; public $manufacturer; } /*from w ww. j av a2 s . co m*/ $myTruck = new Truck(); $myTruck->color ="red"; $myTruck->manufacturer ="Niu"; $myTruck2 = new Truck(); $myTruck2->color ="green"; $myTruck2->manufacturer ="Ford"; echo "The usa's color is". $myTruck->color.".\n"; echo "The Mustang's manufacturer is". $myTruck2->manufacturer.".\n"; echo "The \$myTruck Object: \n"; print_r($myTruck); echo "\n"; echo "The \$myTruck2 Object: \n"; print_r($myTruck2); ?>
