[RESOLVED] Array in a function/method

[homchz]

I create the array here

function check_visit_table()
	{
		$this->table = "ftd_visit_log";
		$this->query = mysql_query("SELECT ip_address FROM $this->table");

	while ($this->results = mysql_fetch_object($this->query))
	{
		global $ip;
		$ip[] = $this->results -> ip_address;
	}
}

then I check to see if my ip is allready logged here

function log_user_info()
	{
		require_once 'Processes/Classes/sql_queries.php';

	$this->ip      = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
	$this->referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
	$this->when    = date("U");

	$query = new queries;
	$query->check_visit_table();

	$address = $this->ip;

	if (in_array($address, $ip))
	{
		$update = new queries;
		$update->update_time($this->ip, $this->when);
		return;
	}
	else if (empty($ip_address))
	{
		$insert = new queries;
		$insert->log_user($this->ip, $this->referer, $this->when);
	}
	else
	{
		$insert = new queries;
		$insert->log_user($this->ip, $this-referer, $this->when);
	}
} 
}

It inserts just fine but skips the checking part and gives me this warning

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in path/to/index.php on line 22

Wrong datatype?? I am storing IP's do I have to change them to strings? as the . are making them floating integers?

I can print_r the array and retrieve the results.

Thanks,
Josh

Did you forget to use "global $ip;" ? That's the only thing I can think of.

[homchz]

nope it is declared just above the array

[homchz]

the strange part is that it will work outside of the new function but not inside of it.

Fixed it by globalizing the array variable again

function log_user_info()
    {
        require_once 'Processes/Classes/sql_queries.php';

    $this->ip      = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $this->referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
    $this->when    = date("U");

    $query = new queries;
    $query->check_visit_table();

    global $ip;

    if (in_array($address, $ip))
    {
        $update = new queries;
        $update->update_time($this->ip, $this->when);
        return;
    }
    else if (empty($ip_address))
    {
        $insert = new queries;
        $insert->log_user($this->ip, $this->referer, $this->when);
    }
    else
    {
        $insert = new queries;
        $insert->log_user($this->ip, $this-referer, $this->when);
    }
}
}
