OOP in PHP Tutorial

[Amethyst]

I am new to OOP and was very pleased to find the tutorials by Stefan. However, I have run into some problems.

 

1. When creating an object with a constructor, I do not get any value back.

 

// Create an object with a constructor
$stefan = new person("Stefan Mischook");
echo "
Stefan's full name: " . $stefan->get_name();

 

The code above just prints out: Stefan's full name:

 

2. I uploaded Stefan's source code examples and do not get values back from those either. My server also reports errors on the public and protected functions in his code.

 

I have PHP 5.2.5 and I am on a shared server.

 

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I think there is something wrong with the PHP on the server I was trying to run this on as I have tried on another server with PHP 5.2.8 and it is fine.

 

Thank you for the great tutorial, Stefan!
