Variable scope inside an object...

richblend

Hey, i have a query class to help tidy up my databse work. one of the methods ive made is called array2vars(), which is used for when a row is returned, and i cant be bothered to keep referencing the values through the array.. like so...

instead of going..

print "name: ". $query->row['name'];
print "occupation: ". $query->row['occupation'];

etc etc..

i can just use...

print "name: ".$query->name;
print "occupation: ".$query-> occupation;

cos it just makes things a bit quicker when i have a large array to get through. my question is, is there any way to get the variables outside of the object, so that ultimately i could just use...

print "name: ".$name;
print "occupation: ".$occupation;

thanks in advance

<?php
$class = new my_class();
$var_name = array('var1','var2','var3','var4);
$class->array2vars();

foreach($var_name as $var) {
    $$var = $class->$var;
} //end foreach
?>

thats cool, but is there a way of doing it INSIDE the object? so i can just go...

$result=new Query("SELECT * FROM clients WHERE id='45' ");
$result->fetch_row();
$result->array2vars();

print "hello $first_name $second_name blah blah ...";
