using arrays in a class

Anon

Hello

I'm trying to assign values to an array in a class, but having problems (php3).
Within the class, i declare the array at the top

var $array;

and then use it in a function :

$this->array[$x]=$temparray[$x];

However, the array seems to get the value 'Array[$x]'. The same code works fine if i use an array local to the function.

I may be doing something obviously wrong (quite new to php), but i can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jon

Well.. im not sure.. you example is very short.. however I do it like that and it works.

class myclass
{
$my_array = new array();

function foo()
{
(....)
$this->my_array[$x] = $temparr[$x];
(....)
}

}

I think (but Im not sure) the problem is in the name of your array, dont call it array - because it is the name of function in php.

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

My code is very similar to your example, apart from i declare the array 'var $array_name' (i called it $array just in the example).
If i declare the array as you do i get an error.

The function code is :

function Sort_links() {

$temp=split(";", $this->links);
$indexlimit=count($temp);
print("Indexlimit=$indexlimit \n");

for($x=0;$x<$indexlimit;$x++) {

list($this->link_names[$x], $this->link_urls[$x])=split(",", $temp[$x]);

print("link=$this->link_names[$x] \n");

}

I've used list here, but i've tried it without and it doesn't work then either.

Thanks

Hello,
I've the same problem with array in class.

You must use a temporary variable ($mytab in this exemple) :

class test
{
var $a_tab;

function test()
{
$this->a_tab = array();
$this->a_tab[0] = "a10";
$this->a_tab[] = 20;
}
}

<?
$obj_test = new test();
$mytab = $obj_test->a_tab[0];
echo "mytab : $montab \n";
echo "tab0 : $obj_test->a_tab[0] \n";
echo "tab1 : $obj_test->a_tab[1] \n";
?>

RESULT :
mytab : a10
tab0 : Array[0]
tab1 : Array[1]
