Re: [slightly OT] OOP syntax

VERY brief class introduction... class database { function database() { // function with the same name as class is the 'constructor'

    $this->srvr = array(); // once you declare an array once, no need to declare 'sub' arrays
    $this->srvr['etime']['server']            = '27.22.1.5:1433';
    etc. etc.

} } $db = new database; foreach ($db->srvr as $row) whatever..; You will probably find as you learn more about classes that you end up doing whatever you are doing entirely differently. Good luck. At 04:20 AM 1/07/2004, you wrote:

I have some procedural code that i'm wanting to convert into classes(and i'm a bit greeen to OOP), hopefully to offer them to the PHP community. I keep all my config data in arrays of arrays, which i'd like to keep when i move to a class model, but can't seem to find out the correct defintion syntax. for example, here is a portion of the array storing connection info to a mssql db(keeping it in db land) $srvr['etime'] = array();

$srvr['etime']['server']            = '27.22.1.5:1433';
$srvr['etime']['db']          = 'dbmaster';
$srvr['etime']['user']              = 'uname';
$srvr['etime']['pass']              = 'pword';
$srvr['etime']['title']       = 'eTime';
$srvr['etime']['dfltch']            = 'N';
$srvr['etime']['optional']          = false;

How would this need to be defined at the top of a class to taken on as a class variable/array. Am i thinking of this wrong? I can add them all as scalar variables, but i'd rather work with arrays, as i use the arrays to loop for other functions. I've tried a variety of syntaxes, but keep getting parse errors. thanks for any info you can provide.
