RE: [PHP] Inherited Arrays within objects problem.

try executing this code: class one { function one(){ $this->myArray = array(); } function addRow($name,$stuff){ $this->myArray[$name]=$stuff; } function removeRow($name){ unset($this->myArray[$name]); } } class two extends one { function two(){ $this->one(); } } $x = new two() ; var_dump( $x ) ; $x->addrow( 'offset' , 'data' ); var_dump( $x ) ; $x->removerow( 'offset' ) ; var_dump( $x ) ; on my computer it produces: object(two)(1) { ["myArray"]=> array(0) { } } object(two)(1) { ["myArray"]=> array(1) { ["offset"]=> string(4) "data" } } object(two)(1) { ["myArray"]=> array(0) { } } so, as you can see, it DOES work, at least on my NT5 w/Apache 1.3.15-dev, PHP4.0.4 mod_php At 14:53 23.12. 2000, Cal Evans wrote the following: -------------------------------------------------------------- >Sorry, no, the code I provided is an example of what I'm trying to do.
