Nah, that's just my bad typing without thinking. When I print_r($bob), it does start.... bob Object

Well, in that case let me address your original post: John Nichel wrote:

Now, I want to retrive the value of $bob->_four->gamma->word, but how? I've tried $bob->_four->gamma->word, $bob->_four['gamma']['word'],

That last one ($bob->_four['gamma']['word']) should work. It does here. This test script: ---begin quote--- class bob { var $one; var $two; var $three; var $_four; function bob() {

    $this->one   = 'this';
    $this->two   = 'that';
    $this->three = array('alpha' => 'something');
    $this->_four = array(
      'beta'  => 'another',
      'gamma' => array('word' => 'up')
    );

} } $bob = new bob; print_r($bob); print $bob->_four['gamma']['word']."\n"; ----end quote---- prints: ---begin quote--- bob Object (

    [one] => this
    [two] => that
    [three] => Array
        (
            [alpha] => something
        )

    [_four] => Array
        (
            [beta] => another
            [gamma] => Array
                (
                    [word] => up
                )

        )

) up ----end quote---- Do you get different results?

Yeah, I get an empty value for the object I'm working with (quite a bit bigger than the example I posted) when I try to retrive the individual value, but the print_r of the object shows that it has value. I thought my syntax was wrong, but I guess I have to keep digging to find out where the 'trouble' is. Thanks for the help. Aaargh, I hate going behind other people. >:-( -- John C.
