Just a quickie today: I was wondering if I can declare a Class variable as a certain type of object. I'm using PHP 4 by the way.

I don't know if this works in PHP4, but I would suggest to clear this in your constructur. But I don't know if this is always called in PHP4. class myClass { var $object; myClass() { $this->object = new OtherObject(); } } This isn't really forced, since you could change $object from outside the class. If there is a way you should declare $object private. That's not stylish, but I guess it works.
