How to declare a property in a CodeIgniter model class

I'm trying to reuse variables in my CodeIgniter Model but I can't quite get the syntax down. The problem I'm having is on line 4.

class Products_model extends CI_Model {

var $gcsServerIpAddress = "11.22.33.44";
var $gcsServerAddress = "http://".$this->gcsServerIpAddress."/eft/";

I've tried object syntax: $this->foo. I've also tried using the variable name: $foo. Neither of them worked. Any suggestions?

Solution

  • Try to set the values inside the constructor.

    class Products_model extends CI_Model {
    var $gcsServerIpAddress;
    var $gcsServerAddress;

    function __construct(){
        $this->gcsServerIpAddress = "11.22.33.44";
        $this->gcsServerAddress = "http://".$this->gcsServerIpAddress."/eft/"; 
    }
}
