Hey all. I've got a simple object method that sets object vars based on a passed array: ********************************************************** function set($arr) {

    foreach($arr as $name => $value) {

        if(is_array($this->name)) {
              $this->$name[] = $value;
        }
        else {
              $this->$name = $value;
       }

} } ********************************************************* Getting a fatal error when I include the file that contains this method: Fatal error: Cannot use [] for reading in path/to/my/file on line X Looks like PHP does not like the syntax of "$this->$name[]". Any clues how to set object array value in a loop?

I think the problem is the use of the dollar sign before the property name. Try this instead: [code]

        if(is_array($this->name)) {
              $this->name[] = $value;
        }
        else...
