array of objects?

[steventh]

Hi,
Can I create an array of objects? And if so , how to access the var and the method of the objects?

Interesting question!

It appears, as of 4.04p1, php supports arrays of objects, as demonstrated by the following code...

<?

class foo {

function xyz ($a)
{
echo $a;
}

} // end of class

class bar {

function abc ($b)
{
echo $b;
}
}

$foo=new foo;

$bar=new bar;

$xx=array(
$foo,
$bar
);

echo $xx[0]->xyz('24, 25, 26');
echo $xx[1]->abc('1, 2, 3');

?>

I admit it, this is a brain-dead example, but it works.

In older php's i think it works if you firs assign a var to an array object and then call it's methods:

$temp_obj=xx[0];
$temp_obj->xyz('foo you!');

But any changes to the object (if you use mutators) will not be reflected in the object stored in the array. (For that you must use refrences witch are unavailable until php4)
