Hello everybody, I am a newbie, so please help me out with my rather basic question. Please take a look at the following code snippet: class HTMLTable extends HTMLElement {

    var $attributes;

    function HTMLTable() {
      $attributes[] = array("border", "0");
      $attributes[] = array("cellpadding", "0");
      // and some other things
    }

    function emit() {
      // I get an error on this line
      $arrLength = count($this->attributes[1]);
    }

} On the line indicated above, I get the error: "Warning: Undefined property: attributes in html_base_classes.inc on line <line-number>" Can anybody give me a clue as to why this is happening?

In your HTMLTable() function, use $this->attributes[] = array("border", "0"); $this->attributes[] = array("cellpadding", "0"); otherwise, PHP thinks $attributes is a variable local to that function, rather that a class variable. -steve
