Re: oop thingie

okay sorry i didnt clarify what i meant by empty. meant when i do a var_dump() on it i get an empty array. i have searched most of the day but in actuality it is rather straight forward. $newpets() from user input. and when i print it it is just fine but immediately after i call this fuction pets->dog->weekcount($newpets); so i guess if the array prints find just before the function yet it still shows an empty array i am baffle where else the problem could be the rest of the code doesnt really even come near these values or function Thank You, Jon Yaggie www.design-monster.com And they were singing . . .
