I'm pulling out my hair on this. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong and I've tried it with PHP 4.3.4 (cli) (built: Nov 7 2003 03:47:25) AND also v4.1.2 on Linux. With the line commented as shown, I get this output: ------ [daevid=pts/4]6:18pm@dev:{/home/daevid}> ./test.php packetArray: Array ( [a] => foo [b] => bar [c] => 1 [d] => 2 [e] => 3 ) myPacket: ------ How come I don't get ANY array under "myPacket:"? How come I don't get a "[test] => 2345245" under "myPacket:" when I explicitly set it? Uncommenting the 'blah' element causes this error: Parse error: parse error, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION' or T_FUNCTION' or T_VAR' or '}'' in /home/daevid/test.php on line 16 The 'var' keyword seems to be required, or I get that same error also. I've tried other combinations and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong? ------------------------ snip ----------------- #!/usr/bin/php <?php $PACKET = array('a'=>'foo', 'b'=>'bar', 'c'=>'1', 'd'=>'2', 'e'=>'3'); $AP = array(); $ap['11111'] = new kismetap($PACKET); $ap['11111']->printMyVars(); class kismetap { var $myPacket = array(); // $myPacket["blah"] = "asdfasdfasdf"; function kismetap( $packetArray ) { echo "packetArray:\n"; print_r($packetArray); $this->myPacket = $packetArray; $this->myPacket["test"] = 2345245; global $myPacket; $myPacket = $packetArray; } //kismetap::constructor function printMyVars() { echo "myPacket:\n"; print_r($myPacket); } } //kismetap class ?>
