Re: adding objects with + equal to array process

Hi waldschrott This depends on the fact that the data in an object is public. Which it is... I would have two objections 1. Some day it would be real nice if we could make class data 'private', in which case this style of code would break. 2. I think it is good practise to consider the data in a class as private, even if it is not in reality. Changes to the state of an object should go through the proper methods. I'm not comfortable with code that can change my objects in unpredictable ways... I suggest creating a function, somewhat along the lines of Java, such that: $obj1 = new Schrott; $obj2 = new Schrott; add_schrotts( $obj1, $obj2 ); Besides, I always hated operator overloading... jalal On Wed, 05 Jul 2000 12:12:12 +0200, waldschrott wrote: >Hi there, >it s possible to glue two arrays with the operator "+", eg. >$array1=array('arr','arr2'); $array2=array('arr3'); >$array3=$array1+$array2; // $array3==array('arr','arr2','arr3'); > >I think that would be useful with objects too. >$obj->property='a'; $obj2->property2='b'; $resobj=$obj+$obj2; >$resobj should then contain these properties >$obj->property=='a' && $obj->property2=='b'; > >It s very annoying to do this by hand and it shouldn t be very >performant operating on larger objects. > >regards > > >-- >PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> >To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net >For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net >To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
