php3 to PHP4 -&gt; Class problem

php3 to PHP4 -> Class problem

I just upgraded from PHP3 to the latest PHP4.
Im running it as a module for thttpd

For some reason, my class variables are being returned blank. And this is the same code that ran wonderfully on PHP3 last week.

I have an array of objects, which is populated by a function call.
Here is an example of what I am doing... PLEASE HELP!

//FILE - class.php

class Obj {
var $name;

function Obj{
   $name = "not set";

}
}

//FILE - lib.php
include("class.php");

function fillObjArray(&$toBeFilled){
$tobeFilled[0] = new Obj;
$tobeFilled[0]->name ="test";

//FILE - main.php>
include("lib.php");

fillObjArray($ObjArray);
//this output is empty... WHY?
echo $objArray[0]->name;

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

typo:
I made a mistake, in my class function,
I actually do

$this->name = "not set";

(still doesn't work though.)

//FILE - main.php> 
include("lib.php"); 

fillObjArray($ObjArray); 
//this output is empty... WHY? 
echo $objArray[0]->name

it looks like it might be a little problem

your echo is using a lower case "o"

maybe that might be the problem, it helps to have a second pair of eyes 🙂

The problem was actually with unset... and not with the classes.

<?
function foo(&$bar){
unset $bar

$bar = new testObj;
$bar->name = "NewValue";

}

foo($bar2);

echo $bar2->name;
?>

//IN PHP3 this prints out "NewValue";
//in PHP4 this prints nothing, because the local variable was destroyed in the function.

unset in PHP3 clears the contents, but destroys in PHP4.

Works fine now!
