设置公共类变量

Question

How do I set a public variable. Is this correct?:

class Testclass
{
  public $testvar = "default value";

  function dosomething()
  {
    echo $this->testvar;
  }
}

$Testclass = new Testclass();
$Testclass->testvar = "another value";    
$Testclass->dosomething();

Answer 1

this is the way, but i would suggest to write a getter and setter for that variable.

class Testclass

{
    private $testvar = "default value";

    public function setTestvar($testvar) { 
        $this->testvar = $testvar; 
    }
    public function getTestvar() { 
        return $this->testvar; 
    }

    function dosomething()
    {
        echo $this->getTestvar();
    }
}

$Testclass = new Testclass();

$Testclass->setTestvar("another value");

$Testclass->dosomething();
