I am having troubles getting the value from my variables submitted via a web form using a PHP class file.

Here is my structure of the web page:

  • Order Form Page
  • Process.php Page
  • Book.php Page

I can easily get the user data entered (on Order Form Page), process, and display it on the Process.php page. The issue is that I must create a Book class and print the details of the data using the Book class.

I have an empty constructor printing out "created" so I know my constructor is being called. I also am able to print the word "title" so I know I can print to the screen by using the Book class.

My issue is that I can't get values in my variables in the Book class.

Here is my variable declaration:

    private $title;

Here is my printDetails function:

    public function printDetails () {
    echo "Title: " . $this->title . "<br />";
    }

Here is my new instance of the book class:

    $bookNow = new book;

Here are my get and set functions:

    function __getTitle($title)
{
    return $this->$title;
}

    function __setTitle($title,$value)
{
    $this->$title = $value;
}

I do have four other variables that I'm looking to display as well. Each of those have their own variable declaration, a line in printDetails, and their own setter and getter.

Lastly, I also have a call to the Book class in my process PHP. It looks like this:

    function __autoload($book) {
        include $book . '.php'; 
    }
    $bookNow = new book();

Any help, much appreciated. It must be something so very small (I'm hoping).
