PHP value keeps being NULL in next function

I'm trying to fix a test but somehow my value keeps being NULL in the next function. I'm using the Selenium webdriver from Sebastian Bergmann.

So what I have:

protected $role;

// Setup .... 

public function testRoles()
{ 
// Code .... 
$this->role = 'hr'; // I want this value in the next function
}

public function testAcl()
{
// Login here
var_dump($this->role); // This var_dump is NULL , why?
$this->webDriver->getKeyboard()->sendKeys($this->role);
}

When I var_dump $this->role it gives NULL

Question: why is this? What did I forget/can do so it becomes the data I want: 'hr'?

The error I'm getting: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() It's because $this->role is NULL

Call testRoles() to set $this-roles...

   public function testAcl()
   {
       // call testRoles
       $this->testRoles();

       // now $this->role was set to hr by testRoles()

       // work with it
       var_dump($this->role); 
    }

it's because you never set the role before var_dump($this->role); line. That means that you have to run the $this->testRoles() before var_dump($this->role);.
