Capplicationcomponent Init Variables Null

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I must be looking at this wrong, but how do I setup complex variables inside a CApplicationComponent?

I’m setting up a quick group of Global “constants”




class Globals extends CApplicationComponent

{

  public $currentFY;

  public $previousFY;


  public function init()

  {

    $now = date('Y-m-d');

    $currentFY=array();

    $previousFY=array();

    $march31 = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0, 3, 31, date('y')));


    if ($now <= $march31)

    {

      $currentFY['start'] = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,4,1,date('y')-1));

      $currentFY['end'] = $now;

      $previousFY['start'] = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,4,1,date('y')-2));

      $previousFY['end'] = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0, 3, 31, date('y')-1));

    } else {

      $currentFY['start'] = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,4,1,date('y')));

      $currentFY['end'] = $now;

      $previousFY['start'] = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,4,1,date('y')-1));

      $previousFY['end'] = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0, 3, 31, date('y')));

    }

  

    parent::init();

  }

}

When I go to access Yii::app()->Globals->currentFiscalYear[‘start’], it’s null.

I stepped through and init is called and the values are set, but once I leave the function, it’s all lost.

I assume this is a scoping issue, but how would I go about doing this if init doesn’t cut it?

this is PHP - you need to access local class attributes with $this->




 $this->currentFY = array();

 $this->previousFY = array();

Ya, how’s that for horribly N00B.

Thanks very much :lol:
