 * Hi
 * Is it possible to get the single variables from a class, when it looks e.g like
   this?
 *     ```
       function cl_validate() {
       		if (isset($_GET['cl_name']) && !empty($_GET['cl_name'])) : $cl_name = $_GET['cl_name'];
       		endif;
       		if (isset($_GET['cl_email']) && !empty($_GET['cl_email'])) : $cl_email = $_GET['cl_email'];
       		endif;
       		if (isset($_GET['cl_text']) && !empty($_GET['cl_text'])) : $cl_text = $_GET['cl_text'];
       		endif;
       }
   
       function cl_send() {
       		$name = $this->cl_validate()->$cl_name
       }
       ```
   
 * $name should be $cl_name. Both are in the same class.

 * Try using public properties.
    [http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.properties.php](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.properties.php)
   Example
 *     ```
       class MyClass {
   
       	public $name;
       	public $email;
       	public $text;
   
       	function cl_validate() {
       		if ( isset( $_GET['cl_name'] ) && !empty( $_GET['cl_name'] ) ) : $this->name = $_GET['cl_name'];
       		endif;
       		if ( isset( $_GET['cl_email'] ) && !empty( $_GET['cl_email'] ) ) : $this->email = $_GET['cl_email'];
       		endif;
       		if ( isset( $_GET['cl_text'] ) && !empty( $_GET['cl_text'] ) ) : $this->text = $_GET['cl_text'];
       		endif;
       	}
   
       	function cl_send() {
   
       		// sets properties
       		$this->cl_validate();
   
       		// use properties in this function
       		$name = $this->name;
       	}
   
       }
       ```
