Collections of objects

[Anon]

If I have an object who has an association with a collection of other objects - what is a good pattern in PHP to deal with that? I have a person-object who can have zero, one or many adress-objects... how do I keep track of the adress-objects that a particular person "owns"???? Any ideas?

you could use a multi-dimensional array:

$array["Bob Smith"][0]="value";
$array["Sven Tobrand"][0]="value";
$array["Sven Tobrand"][1]="value";
$array["Sven Tobrand"][2]="value";

If you want to know which values a person owns ...

$person = "Sven Tobrand";
do
{
$current_st = current($array[$person]);
echo "$current<BR>";
}
while(next($array[$person]));

and so on.
