Help with array in class needed

I've written a class that reads a database into an array. This works fine, but when I try to copy the array outside the class using a function that only does a return $this->$data, I only get one sub-array of the whole one. Any ideas? Thanks Alexander Code: class Adressen { var $connect; // database-handle var $daten = array(); // array for data // Constructor function Adressen($datenbank) { $this->$connect = $datenbank->getConnect(); } // read data from database function readData() { $this->$daten = array(); $result = mysql_query("select * from adressen"); while($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { extract($data); $this->$daten[$AdressenID] = array("strasse" => $Strasse, "plz" => $PLZ, "ort" => $Ort, "land" => $Land, "telefon" => $Telefon, "telefax" => $Telefax, "email" => $Email); } } function getData() { return $this->$daten; } }
