Some final ending content."; require("includes/old_filter.php"); $my_filter = new Filter("word_files/basicwords.txt"); $my_filter -> approve($input_to_test); $v = $my_filter ->getViolatingContent(); echo "<H4>Violating</H4>"; for($i=0;$i<count($v);$i++){ printf("%s<br>",$v[$i]); } echo "<h4>Keywords</h4>"; $keywords = $my_filter ->getKeywords($input_to_test); for($i=0;$i<count($keywords);$i++){ printf("%s<br>",$keywords[$i]); } ?> </body> </html> TEST #1 ---- changing code as you suggested ----- $this->violations = $violation_arr; $this->keywords = $keyword_arr; produces the following output Violating Keywords 0 TEST #2 ---- my posted code----- $this->$violations = $violation_arr; $this->$keywords = $keyword_arr; produces the following output Violating words. naughty words. final ending content. Keywords 0words. naughty words. final ending content. TEST #3 ---- using my code but inverting the two assignment statements----- $this->$keywords = $keyword_arr; $this->$violations = $violation_arr; produces the following output Violating naughty Keywords 0naughty again i remain pretty convinced this is some sort of bug... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-01 15:03:25] msopacua@idg.nl Looking at your code, your assigning $this->$violations which is very different from $this->violations (NOTICE: the dollar sign AFTER the arrow). At the time of assignment, the $violations, is an empty var even. So what would happen is that $this->=$arr_violations. If that does anything usefull, it would probably be, something like: foreach($violations as $key => $value) { $this->$key=$value; } The object would then get property '0', '1','2' etc. But that is more speculation than fact, because what you're trying to do here is incorrect. use: $this->violations=$arr_violations; then report back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-01 14:34:19] max@reallyusefulcomputing.com i am trying to set the object variables $violations and $keywords to be $violation_arr and $keyword_arr respectively. the assignment itself works however it assigns the last value in this case $keyword_arr to both. if i invert the order of the assignments doing the $violation assignment last then both are set to that value. i do not believe the problem has anything to do with my use of this-> because again a value is being assigned but it is assigning to more than one variable. of additonal note it does not set any of the other variables $filter_name, $allowed_number and $filter_word_file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
