States' names do not appear in the dropdown list.

[wackyflik]

i created a class named ECISState in a single file named ecisstate.php. then i include the file in the common.php where all classes' files are included here. i have called 1 of the function in the ECISState in common.php. then, i failed to load all the states' names in the dropdown list in the employer_block.php. did i called the loadState function wrongly?

ecisstate.php

<?php

class ECISState

{

    function ECISState()

    {

        //nothing

    }

    

    function loadState()

    {

        $state[0] = "Johor";

        $state[1] = "Kelantan";

        $state[2] = "Kuala Lumpur";

        $state[3] = "Labuan";

        $state[4] = "Melaka";

        $state[5] = "Negeri Sembilan";

        $state[6] = "Pahang";

        $state[7] = "Perak";

        $state[8] = "Perlis";

        $state[9] = "Pulau Pinang";

        $state[10] = "Sabah";

        $state[11] = "Sarawak";

        $state[12] = "Selangor";

        $state[13] = "Terengganu";

        $countState = count($state);

    }

}

?>

common.php

/*******************

* State Handler

*******************/

$ecisState = new ECISState;

$state = $ecisState->loadState(); 

employer_block.php

<select name="emp_state" id="emp_state">

      <option selected>Select</option>

      <?php for($i = 0; $i < $countState; $i++) { ?>

      <option value="<?php echo $state[$i]; ?>"><?php echo $state[$i]; ?></option>

      <?php } ?>

      </select>

You function should return $state array.

<?php

class ECISState

{

    function ECISState()

    {

        //nothing

    }

    

    function loadState()

    {

        $state[0] = "Johor";

        $state[1] = "Kelantan";

        $state[2] = "Kuala Lumpur";

        $state[3] = "Labuan";

        $state[4] = "Melaka";

        $state[5] = "Negeri Sembilan";

        $state[6] = "Pahang";

        $state[7] = "Perak";

        $state[8] = "Perlis";

        $state[9] = "Pulau Pinang";

        $state[10] = "Sabah";

        $state[11] = "Sarawak";

        $state[12] = "Selangor";

        $state[13] = "Terengganu";

        

        return $state;

    }

}



$ecisState = new ECISState;

$state = $ecisState->loadState(); 



?> 



<select name="emp_state" id="emp_state">

      <option selected>Select</option>

      <?php for($i = 0; $i < count($state); $i++) { ?>

      <option value="<?php echo $state[$i]; ?>"><?php echo $state[$i]; ?></option>

      <?php } ?>

</select>

i have tried your code jelena, but it only works if i put everything in a single file. the structure of system is like this. employer_block.php is in the different folder.

ecis
----
|_folder: include ->common.php, ecisstate.php, etc.
|_folder: templates ->employer_block.php, etc.
|_file: index.php, etc.


all classes will be included in common.php

include_once ("../ecis_cfg.php");

include_once ("mysql.php");

include_once ("ecismembership.php");

include_once ("ecisemployer.php");

include_once ("ecisstate.php");

include_once ("ecissupplier.php");

global $ecisDB, $ecisMember, $ecisEmployer, $ecisState;



/*******************

* State Handler

*******************/

$ecisState = new ECISState;

$state = $ecisState->loadState();

Well, you have to include common.php in template files or in files which include template files.

Make $state a global variable too.

global $ecisDB, $ecisMember, $ecisEmployer, $ecisState, $state;

sorry, i am confusing actually. for example, in common.php, i have initiated

$ecisMember = new ECISMembership;

$user = $ecisMember->getUserInfo($_SESSION['u_id']); 

then, i just declare global $ecisMember at any files, for example at process/user_registration.php which is in different folder with include/common.php. then i just use the $ecisMember and i can call any functions from class ECISMembership. i dont need to include any files in user_registration.php.

but anyway, thanks guys. i will fix it the rest.
