Just came across some code I haven't seen before and can't find anything on php.net or google about it (maybe I'm not searching for the right thing?). What is the following doing? // $dataobject is holding a bunch of variables like:
//      $dataobject->var1
//      $dataobject->var2
//      etc...
(array)$dataobject; Is this making the $dataobject an associative array like: $dataobject["var1"] $dataobject["var2"] Or is it doing something different?

Yes, I believe it's type-casting the object into an array. Do a print_r ( $dataobject ) on it before and after the casting. -- John C. Nichel IV Programmer/System Admin (ÜberGeek) Dot Com Holdings of Buffalo 716.856.9675 jnichel@dotcomholdingsofbuffalo.com
