Running methods on objects in arrays

[kevinp34]

$theArray is an array of Objects

why won't this work? -- > current($theArray)->someMethod()
or this? --> $theArray[0]->someMethod()

I don't understand how you can change objects when they're in an array. This works:

$someObject = $theArray[0];
$someObject->someMethod();

but $someObject is just a copy and doesn't change anything in the array. Maybe I'm thinking of this wrong????

You cannot use the result of a funciton call like this. Coming from a java background I found this annoying myself.

or this? --> $theArray[0]->someMethod()

I use this all the time. What error are you getting?
