RE: An array of objects?

$_SESSION["rooms"][1] = array("room_name"=>"Bob's Room", room_status=>1) $_SESSION ["rooms"][2] = array("room_name"=>"Jeff's Room", room_status=>0) etc. then for a given room_id ... echo($_SESSION [$room_id]["room_name"]) and so on Tim Ward Internet Chess www.chessish.com <http://www.chessish.com> ---------- From: Nathan [SMTP:etherwolf@sopris.net] Sent: 13 May 2002 17:47 To: PHP Subject: An array of objects? I have some data I need to store in the session array and I'm not exactly sure how to get it there and get it back... I have a list of room ID numbers, and each room ID has a few attributes I need to keep track of. I end up with a listing like so: room_id = 1, room_name = "Bob's Room", room_status = 1 room_id = 2, room_name = "Jeff's Room", room_status = 0 Room_id is unique, room_name is a string, and room_status is boolean. There are on average 30 rooms that need to be kept track of. I'd like to put all this data in the session array so I don't have to query my database every time the page reloads, which will happen fairly often. If the data is in the session, then I can simply update the room_status where I need to without fetching everything again. Anyway, I am having a really hard time figuring out how to keep track of all this data, and I've looked at it so long I'm sure I'm making far more complex that necessary. I've attempted to create an array of objects but I get warnings whenever I try to refer to $myObject[$1]->status or anything like that. I've also tried a 4D array, but I am doing something very wrong trying to reference the data... Anyone got ideas here? Many thanks! # Nathan
