is there any setting to declare the member variables in constructor?

now i'm re-writing some script to output pdf files. the original code
is based on fpdf, but as you know, fpdf can't deal with the characters
in utf8. so i want to change it to tcpdf. there is a class extend from
fpdf, in its constructor function, there is some script just like
"$this->db = $db;". there isn't any variable named "$db" in parent
class(class fpdf) and child class, i have checked it carefully and
"print_r($this)" at the top of child's constructor function. but after
"$this->db=$db", there is a member variable named $db(i have print_r
and check it too). when i change the parent class to tcpdf, although i
haven't change any code in child class and there isn't a member
variable named $db in parent class(class tcpdf), php returns me a
error "TCPDF ERROR: Cannot access protected property / Undefined
property". i print_r($this) at the top of constructor function again
and check whether there is a member variable named $db in both parent
and child class, finally i'm sure there isn't. i think maybe there is
a setting in the parent class(fpdf/tcpdf) here about this condition.
it controls whether you can declare a member variable by equaling it.
i tried to find it out on google or in fpdf/tcpdf sources but i
failed, there are about 16k lines in tcpdf.... so i post this mail to
request some help, is there somebody have any experience about this
case? please help me, thanks a lot.

From http://www.fpdf.org/?lang=en

"What languages can I use?

The class can produce documents in many languages other than the
Western European ones: Central European, Cyrillic, Greek, Baltic and
Thai, provided you own TrueType or Type1 fonts with the desired
character set. Chinese, Japanese and Korean are supported too."

So, if you have the font for it, you should be able to encode the data
easily enough. No matter what encoding you are using, unless the font
you want to use has a glyph for it, you can't use it. This is more
often the problem I've found.

Regards,

Richard.

sure, i know fpdf can deal with asian character like Chinese, but it
can't work with utf-8 charactor so that i have to replace it with
tcpdf.

Aha! I see what you mean.

http://www.fpdf.org/en/tutorial/tuto7.htm

Uses an encoding and only allows 256 characters.

Hmm.

With regard to your issue, it sounds like the class is extended
further or uses magic functions to set/get missing properties.
