How can I pass a value from one function to another?

Question

PHP

The code:

<?php
class Page_Portfolio extends Page_Basic
{
    function actionIndex() {
        $cms_class = cms_class::getInstance();
        $sql =  "SELECT * FROM site_portfoliotheme WHERE portfoliotheme_active='Y'";
        $menu = $cms_class->getRecords($sql, 3);
        
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM site_portfolio WHERE portfolio_active='Y' ORDER BY portfolio_id DESC";
        $viewportf = $cms_class->getRecords($sql, 150, "portfolio_image");
        
        return array("menu"=>$menu, "viewportf"=>$viewportf);
    }
    function actionHtml()
    {
        $cms_class = cms_class::getInstance();
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM site_portfolio WHERE portfolio_active='Y' AND portfolio_theme='".Router::$pageParams["html"]."'";    
  $records = $cms_class->getRecords($sql, 150, "portfolio_image");
        return array("records"=>$records, "menu"=>$menu);
        }
    }

It is necessary to transfer the value of the $menu variable from the first function to the second function in order to return it there in an array. How to check it? Or is there another way?

Answer 1

you can create a $menu property and access it via $this

<?php
class Page_Portfolio extends Page_Basic{

    private $menu;

    public function actionIndex() {
        $this->menu;
    }

    public function actionHtml(){
         $this->menu;
    }

}

Or maybe you need something like this

<?php
class Page_Portfolio extends Page_Basic{

    public function actionIndex() {

    }

    public function actionHtml(){
         $this->actionIndex();
    }

}

Answer 2

If closer to OOP, then like this, perhaps:

<?php
<?php
class Page_Portfolio extends Page_Basic
{
    function actionIndex() {
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM site_portfolio WHERE portfolio_active='Y' ORDER BY portfolio_id DESC";
        $viewportf = cms_class::getInstance()->getRecords($sql, 150, "portfolio_image");
        return array("menu"=>$this->getMenu(), "viewportf"=>$viewportf);
    }
  
  function getMenu() {
    $cms_class = cms_class::getInstance();
    return $cms_class->getRecords($sql, 3);
  }
  
    function actionHtml()    {
        $cms_class = cms_class::getInstance();
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM site_portfolio WHERE portfolio_active='Y' AND portfolio_theme='".Router::$pageParams["html"]."'";    
    $records = $cms_class->getRecords($sql, 150, "portfolio_image");
        return array("records"=>$records, "menu"=>$this->getMenu());
        }
    }

And if you need to optimize, then you can cache getMenu () with one hand movement
