PHP Passing array into class

Question

I'm new ;)

I have two file php (and one problem ;) ):

index.php:

...    
$lang = array();
$lang['En'] = 'Enable';
$lang['Dis'] = 'Disable';
...

and the class.print.php

    ...
include_once 'index.php';
class print{
?? echo $lang['En'] ??
}
    ...

what is the best way to echo a value of the array $lang directly from inside the class?

thanks :)

Pas it as a parameter to the constructor or the method that will use it. Kinda PHP 102. — John Conde, Nov 22 '13 at 14:16
`print` is a keyword, you won't be able to create a class named `print`. — Mihai Stancu, Nov 22 '13 at 14:17
@FruityP yes, it *is* ugly, but the whole concept of globals is ugly, so what's the problem? After all, the whole PHP object model is kind of funny. — MightyPork, Nov 22 '13 at 14:19
@MightyPork it is not just ugly, it destroys the concept of OO which by the way PHP isn't actually too bad at. Every language has its advantages / disadvantages. I don't think the object model is funny imo. — SamV, Nov 22 '13 at 14:22
print is a keyword: I know. In fact, my class is not called print — Tony, Nov 22 '13 at 14:27

include_once 'index.php';

class my_class {
  function __construct(&$lang) {
    var_dump($lang);
  }
}

$my_object = new my_class($lang);

You should be using `__construct()` really.. – SamV Nov 22 '13 at 14:22
no, its the same.. using `__construct` or function with class name... – Legionar Nov 22 '13 at 14:23

Fully read the answer to the question, you really shouldn't be using the class name for the constructor. – SamV Nov 22 '13 at 14:25
Yes, I have read that, now I agree with you. – Legionar Nov 22 '13 at 14:26
the code above is not what I tring to do ... I want print directly from (into) the class... After var_dump(...); there is the possibility to porint the array ? – Tony Nov 22 '13 at 14:57
Of course, you can do whatever with that array in that function, or whole class, when you pas it to variable inside class. – Legionar Nov 22 '13 at 15:20
