3. Save this image and upload to server.

Hope it comes in handy, I know there is a poll system that comes with the mccodes, but I herd it sucks and it seems everything is being recoded lately. :wink:

It's just a function in the class that's public (can be used anywhere), they're 3 types. Public, private, protected.

More info here: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/language.o ... bility.php

Using public before the function is not required, as it will be defined as public if nothing is declared.

But it's my personal preference. :P

Re: [mccodes v2] Poll Modificaton

Well so far I understand that

Public - Works

Private - Undefined Error

Protected - Fatal Error

But now, may I ask why would there need to be Private & Protected? Surely functions would actually benefit from being public?

Re: [mccodes v2] Poll Modificaton

Well, it all comes down to security...

Public - Can be used anywhere, any class, anywhere on the server.

Private - Can only be used / viewed in the class its defined in.

Protected - Limited access can only be used by class its defined in or parent class.

Basically, If you try to use a function / var outside the class that's private or protected, your gonna error. Unless it's defined in a function inside the class.

I'm not 100% sure if I'm correct however, as I'm fairly new to PHP OOP.

It kinda helps.. But still very confusing..

Maybe I should learn about the basic parts of OOP first :-P
