Hi!

I´d like to build a class which does something and returns a user input, not an object.

The class extends the GtkDialog Class, which will be contructed at first. After the user clicks "OK" the dialog shall be destructed and a result returned (from a GtkEntry inside the dialog).

Example:

Code:

class x extrends GtkDialog{ function __contruct(){ //contains dialog attributes, GtkEntry etc } function destruct(){ //will be called on dialog ok //reads entry value //here the class shall be destructed and a return value transmitted } } $return = new x();

Everything is working fine but i alway get a object back. I can acess the value with $return->value, and destroy it later using unset($return). but i would prefer a solution descibed above- if possibel.

Hi,

PHP5's OOP is not as full-fledged as that of C++.

In any case, there's no way you can return a value in the constructor method. So when you do a new class() in PHP5, it will always return a pointer to a new instance of the class.

For you case, you will need at least 2 lines: the first one to create an instance of the dialog class, and the second to retrieve the user input from GtkEntry. If you want, you may add a third to destroy the object.

Ok, i did not really belived there is a other solution as i did not found anything like this on the web.
Thanks anyway, i´m using the "3 lines solution" already :-)

I´m working on a gtk project since 3 month, and i want to mention that this here is the best php-gtk related site on the web. Thanks and good job kksou!

Cheers
