[RESOLVED] Return Array from function

[Arc]

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any relevant answers with a search.

I am building a class to interface with MySQL(mostly for learning purposes). I have a function called getFirstRow(), which, as the name implies, is supposed to return an array of the first row. I am gettin gthis error when using it though..."Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ')'"

Any help is mucho appreciated.

Here is the class

class dbConTran{

var $con;
var $numRows;
var $result;
var $resultArray;
var $firstRow = array();
var $lastRow = array();


 // Open Database connection ---------
 function dbOpen($name,$host,$user,$password){
    $this->conn = @mysql_connect($host, $user, $password)or die ("Error Connecting to Database!");
    @mysql_select_db($name, $this->con) or die ("Error Selecting Database!");
 }//end dbOpen

 // Close Database Connection --------
 function dbClose(){
    @mysql_close($this->con);
 }//end dbClose

 // INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE from Database --------
 function dbIUD($sql){
 	$this->result = @mysql_query($sql);
	if(!$this->result){
		return false;
	}else{
		return true;
	}//end if		
 }//end dbIUD

  // SELECT FROM Database --------
 function dbSelect($sql){
 	$this->result = @mysql_query($sql);
	$this->numRows = @mysql_num_rows($this->result);
	if(!$this->result){
		return false;
	}else{
		return true;
	}//end if		
 }//end dbSelect

 // Get first row of dbSelect --------
 function getFirstRow(){

	$this->firstRow = mysql_fetch_array($this->result);
	return $this->firstRow;
}//end getFirstRow

// Get last row of dbSelect --------
 function getLastRow(){
	while($this->resultArray = mysql_fetch_array($this->result)){
	$this->$lastRow = &$this->resultArray;
	}
}//end getLastRow

 // Get number of rows from dbSelect --------
 function getNumRows(){
	return $this->numRows;
}//end getNumRows


}// End Of Database Class -------------------------------

And here is the implimentation of it

require("db_con_tran.class.php");

$db= new dbConTran();

$sql="SELECT * FROM tblBooks";

$database = "dbname";
$host= "localhost";
$user = "user";
$pass = "pass";

$db->dbOpen($database,$host,$user,$pass);

$db->dbSelect($sql);

echo $db->getNumRows();

$rowArray = array(db->getFirstRow());///error is here

print_r($rowArray);

$db->dbClose();

[mercrapper]

Does the error mesage indicate a line number and file that the error is on?
That information would help, but ...

This line doesn't look right
$rowArray = array(db->getFirstRow());
try this instead
$rowArray = array();
$rowArray[] = db->getFirstRow();

You missed the $ sign in front of db on that very same line.

That was it, I was missing the $ sign.

Also, you are right doing

$rowArray = array();
$rowArray = $db->getFirstRow();

is better than

$rowArray = array($db->getFirstRow());

because the latter way creates 2 arrays with the getFirstRow() array being the first element of the first array.

Thanks!
