AW: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8816: cross subscript object variable access

hi, we had the same problem. the solution is to instanciate the providerclass with $provider = &new ProviderClass(); another solution would be to implement a static function in your subclass that acts as a classfactory: function providerFactory(&$ProviderInstance) { $ProviderInstance->FOO = new SubClass(); } hope that helps. harald. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: tenshi@cinter.de [mailto:tenshi@cinter.de] > Gesendet: Samstag, 20.
