Variable Variables as used in OOP arrays

[Anon]

I'm pretty new to OOP. I'm tring to write a class that makes a call to Mysql and defines variables that are named the same names as the fields the query returns equating to their values. If there is a way to put a while loop into the variable deffinition of the class this would be really helpful. I am also trying to run this piece of code in the constructor function:

While(list ($key, $val) = each ($row)){
$this->row[$key] . $row[$val];}

Basicaly, I want to define my variables here. I know this doesn't work because PHP interprets "$this->row[$key]" as the name of the variable rather than interpreting the array first. I need help!!
Thanx,

Try this:

class some_class {

function some_class ( ) {
$row = call_to_mysql();
while ( list ( $key, $val ) = each ( $row ) ) {
$this->$key = $val;
}
/
if $key equates to 'password', this will setup a variable called
$this->password with the value of $val.
/

}

function some_class() { #this is a better way to do it
$row = call_to_mysql()
$this->recordset = $row;
/
Why is this better? It saves memory (one variable instead of X variables)
You also can do something like looping through all the fields, which you
can't do without having an array type thingy there.

}
