Calling a class function

[Anon]

Help, I get a syntax error on

$obj->get("this")->set("hello");

where

class H {
var $v = null;
function set($val) {
$this->v = $val;
}
}

class OBJ {
var $a = array();
function get($name) {
return $this->a[$name];
}
function add($name,$object) {
$this->a[$name] = $object;
}
}

$obj = new OBJ();
$obj->add("this", new H());
$obj->get("this")->set("hello");

---

Does PHP evalutate this such that $obj->get("this") is returned, then ->set("hello") is then evaluated? OR did I screw up something in the syntax?

Thanks

First off, depending on your version of PHP, you should be getting errors because of the fact that your classes don't have constructors.

As far as the statement

  $obj->get("this")->set("hello");

is concerned, I don't think you can chain a <b>-></b> operator to the end of a method invocation. You would have to break up the statement like so:

&nbsp;&nbsp;$x = $obj->get("this");
&nbsp;&nbsp;$x->set("hello");
