Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-24 04:06:32] jacob@inow8.com The below example shows how $a is copyed (=) into $b but dosent make a "copy" or dos it? Its about the prob properti, i asign an object "Obj" to $a->prob, and sets a new properti, $a->prob->p1, then i run the method $a->prob->PrintObj(), and copyes $a it into $b, and asign $b->prob->p2 to the cloned version of $b, and $a->prob->p3 to the original version of $a. If this sould be right then $a->prob will have p1 and p3, and $b->prob will have p1 and p2... but because of the PrintObj method thats not the case... and it has nothing to do with the name and action of the method! class Obj { function Obj() { $this->name = 'a'; } function PrintObj() { echo 'Printing...'; } } $a = new Obj(); $a->prob = new Obj(); $a->prob->p1 = 'test'; //This is the problem... running a method (any method) before copying! //Causing a "reference" only to the "prob" properti in the copy version. $a->prob->PrintObj(); $b = $a; $b->prob->p2 = 'test'; $a->prob->p3 = 'test'; print_r($a); print_r($b); /* Printing...obj Object ( [name] => a [prob] => obj Object ( [name] => a [p1] => test [p2] => test [p3] => test ) ) obj Object ( [name] => b [prob] => obj Object ( [name] => a [p1] => test [p2] => test [p3] => test ) ) */ //--------------------------------------------------- //Now lets try without the method!!! //--------------------------------------------------- $a = new Obj(); $a->prob = new Obj(); $a->prob->p1 = 'test'; //This code dos what i whant, because i dont execute the PrintObj method???? $b = $a; $b->prob->p2 = 'test'; $a->prob->p3 = 'test'; print_r($a); print_r($b); /* obj Object ( [name] => a [prob] => obj Object ( [name] => a [p1] => test [p3] => test ) ) obj Object ( [name] => b [prob] => obj Object ( [name] => a [p1] => test [p2] => test ) } */ Your sincerely Jacob Lindborg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-24 04:04:01] jacob@inow8.com The below example shows how $a is copyed (=) into $b but dosent make a "copy" or dos it?
