Re: generically accessing member variables problem

See below:

MM> class Example {

MM>         var $array = array();

MM>         function add2array($element_name, $val){
MM>         $this->$array[$element_name] = $val;

MM> } MM> } MM> $t = new Example(); $t->>add2array('array1',25); $t->>add2array('array2',26); $t->>add2array('array3',"Hello"); MM> echo '<pre>'; MM> print_r($t); MM> echo '</pre>'; MM> Cleaner and more scalable, no? Yes and to fit the original 3 seperate arrays it would be function add2array($element_name, $val){

        $this->$array[$element_name][] = $val;

}

No, because you pass it the name and data. This way every name will become element's name containing the relevant data. Your way just makes it an associative array without a way of directly accessing it. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net But my problem is that I have several arrays already and I want to be able to act on a specific array depending on the name I pass in. I don't see how your solution solves that issue.
