Hi,

First here is a example script:

PHP Code:

<?php



class Test

{

    public function __construct()

    {

        $name = 'my_var' ;

        $this->$name =& $this ;

    }



    public function foo()

    {

        // ????

    }

}



$test = new Test ;

$test->my_var->foo() ;



?>

First the constructor creates a variable with reference to it self.
Now when we create a instance of the class and use $test->my_var->foo() ;
how can i find out who called it... foo() would return "my_var"

Now i know your thinking, whats the point in that...
Well these variable will be db table names and this is for looks really:

$this->db->table_name->action() ;

Its for a framework iv been designing,
Any ideas?

Perhaps you're looking for __get()

PHP Code:

<?php



class Test

{

    private $table_name;

    

    

    public function __construct()

    {

    }



    public function foo()

    {

        echo $this->table_name;

    }

    

    public function __get($table_name)

    {

        $this->table_name = $table_name;

        return $this;

    }

}



$test = new Test ;

$test->my_var->foo() ;



?>

I'd probably do it this way, though.

PHP Code:

class Test

{

    private $table_name;

    

    public function foo()

    {

        echo $this->table_name;

    }

    

    public function table($table_name)

    {

        $this->table_name = $table_name;

        return $this;

    }

}



$test = new Test ;

$test->table('bar')->foo() ;
