Return an array from a function inside a class

[pistolspete]

I canot seem to be able to return an array from a function I am calling from a class.

Can anyone give me a general idea?

class foo {
	function bar() {
		$arraything = array(1,2,3);
		return $arraything;
	}
}
$do = new foo;
$newarrayofstuff = $do->bar();

If that is not returning an array... I don't know what sort of evil voodoo is going on with your PHP =)

Tried something like class....???

<?php

// Create some silly class:
class SomeClass {

var $properties = array("jake","mufin","larry","ezmirelda");

function SomeClass() {
}

function GetProperties() {
	return $this->properties;
}
}


// instantiate the class:
$class = new SomeClass();

// Get the properties array from the class:
$ary = $class->GetProperties();

?>

Have fun...

Cheers,
I was actually doing

return $this->$somearray;

Hmmmm......sorry

Ouch... yes, that second dollar sign can REALLY cause some evil things. I was subject to that a while back when dealing inside a massive credit card processing class I built. I looked it over and over and over and it was right smack dab in my face all the time too... I had the second $ on the "$this->" reference ...

It happens to everyone 😃
