how to pass an array ob objects ?

[pdsnr]

Hi folks,
please take a look at this:

class MyClass1 {
var $i=0;
...
}

class MyClass2 {
var $x=0.0;
var $obj;

function MyClass2() {
$this->obj = new MyClass1();
}

function anotherFunction() { ...
};
...
}

function getObjects(&$resultSet) {
// just for simplicity
// accessing a database in real life
$obj = new MyClass2

$resultSet[] = $obj;
}

...

getObjects($result);
$o = (object)$result[0];
// var_dump($o);
$o->anotherFunction();

The last line causes an "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: anotherfunction()"
The same code worked with php3 but doesn't with php4 any more.
I guess the problem is that i use a typecast to object (which doesn't have a function anotherFunction) und not to MyClass2. But as far as I know php4 doesn't support typecasts to MyClass2.
Do you have an idea on how to solve this problem ?

Thx Peter

P.S: var_dump($o) looks ok. All data seems to be there.

You're causing the error by trying to hack a fix due to a different issue. Remove the (object) from the $o = line

Once you fix the error removing that should cause, you'll be done.

Try a ; after the = new myclass1 line

Anyway, tons of problems here. A fantasic rule of thumb: don't create objects in functions that have variables passed by reference.

Use refrences:

// just for simplicity
// accessing a database in real life
$obj = &new MyClass2

$resultSet[] = &$obj;
}

$o = &$result[0];
// var_dump($o);
$o->anotherFunction();
