Here is a simplified version of the problem.
class A{
public $value = 0;
}
class B{
public $values;
public $total = 0;
function __construct($values) {
foreach($values as $value){
$this->values[] = &$value;
$this->total += $value->value;
}
}
}
$a = new A;
$a->value = 10;
$b = new A;
$b->value = 20;
$x = new B(array($a, $b));
echo $x->total . "\r\n";
$b->value = 40;
echo $x->total;
The output is:
30
30
I want the total to be automatically updated to 50 without iterating on the array and recalculating the sum. Is it possible using PHP pointers? Desired Output:
30
50
