Re: How to cast objects in arrays.

I have a function getRow() that returns a new instance of an object called IvActivity. I insert this new instance into $list. I need to call getTitle method on each of the inserted objects. However, I keep on getting parse error on the line that does the casting.

$i = 0; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)) { $instance = $this->getRow($row); $list[$i] = $intance; $i++; }

I take this is just a typo in your example. $list[$i] = $intance; should really be: $list[$i] = &$instance; by not using the ampersand you pass a COPY of the object and not the object you built. Maybe it doesn't do any harm in your application, but it tends to be dangerous.

foreach ($list as $item) { $act = (IvActivity) $item; echo "item: " . $act->getTitle(); }

this may just be: foreach ($list as $item) { echo "item: " . $item->getTitle(); } Because you said that:

getRow() returns a new instance of an object called IvActivity.

Watch out for copies again. I am not sure whether this will execute the object instead of a fresh copy. Again, this might mean nothing in your context.
