Re: Problem with Object references in an array via for loop

Nope. Same performance. I originally had something like this (minus the assigment to null) but I thought the confusion was in the variable assignment so I went directly to the array. I've tried your code exactly and get the same thing, assignment to null doesn't help. Dave Gabriel Sosa wrote:

try doing this $secs = array(); foreach($_GET['sids'] as $sid){ $obj = null; $obj = new CustomSecurity(); $obj->set(array('customSecurityID' => $sid)); $secs[] = $obj; } i just don't know if the operator -> it's working wll over object arrays saludos On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 1:31 PM, David Moylan <dave@westphila.net> wrote:

I have a snippet of code like this which works fine in PHP4. $secs = array(); foreach($_GET['sids'] as $sid){ $secs[$sid] = new CustomSecurity(); $secs[$sid]->set(array('customSecurityID' => $sid)); } However, in PHP5 (5.2.4) the array has the proper keys in it but all of the array values in $secs seem to point to the same instance. Basically, the customSecurityID value inside each array value (object instance) should match the array key, but all of the customSecurityID values are set to the last $sid value during the final iteration which tells me the array values are not 3 separate instances, but references to the same instance. I'm having a hard time seeing how this isn't a bug. On each iteration of the loop I'm using a new variable $secs[$sid] which is previously unassigned and assigning it via the new operator to a new instance. Is this a bug or a strange reference behavior that I don't understand? How can you fill arrays with multiple new instances? Thanks.
