quite hard one for me

[Anon]

hello
i have a little problem now:
i need to push one more element to a row like this:
function push($arr,$type)
{
foreach($arr as $key => $val)
{
$this->$type[$key] = $val
// here comes the error, $this->$type will not get any entries, $type will get them...but i need st like this: if $type == files, then the array should be $this->files etc...
maybe someone has an idea ?
NB! i hope you can work it out with no if statements

then i made a test like this, but it didn't work either
<?php
class foo
{
function foo($val,$foo)
{
$this->$$foo[2] = $val;
}

    function output()
    {
            print($this->foo[2]);
    }

}
$foo = 'foo';
$val = 'jeeeeeeee';
$f = new foo($val,$foo);
$f->output(); // won't output "foo"
?>

you need to correct all the syntax problems that you have. those are what are causing the errors. for example:

$this->$type[$key] = $val
(remember that $this should only be used in classes to reference a member function or value, and also remember the '$' before 'type' is not needed, and will cause errors. and dont forget to add a ';' at the end of the line)

$this->$$foo[2] = $val;
(should be: $this->foo[2] = $val😉
(also notice that you are setting the value to $val and not $foo, so that 'jeeeeeee' will be output as opposed to 'foo'.)

$this->$type[]

should be

$this->type[]

[emceej]

it should be like, when $type = 'blabla';
then the array should be $this->blabla and when $type = 'foo'; array should be $this->foo
example:
class foo
{
var $foo = array();
var $foo2 = array();

function addel($k,$v,$type)
{
$this->$type[$k] = $v; // WRONG
}
}
$f = new foo;
$f->addel('k1','v1','foo'); // should add a new element to class array $foo;
$f->addel('k2','v2','foo2'); // should add a new element to class array $foo2;

maybe now somebody could help me ?

wow, yeah.. i didnt really didnt get that from your first message =)

anyhow, here is the fix: (all that you need are brackets around the variable 'type')

<?
class foo {
var $foo = array();
var $foo2 = array();

function addel($k,$v,$type) { 
	$this->{$type}[$k] = $v;	}

function display($type) {
	print "$type: ";
	print_r ($this->$type);
	print "<hr>";
}

}
$f = new foo;
$f->addel('k1','v1','foo');
$f->addel('k2','v2','foo2');

$f->display('foo');
$f->display('foo2');
?>
