Change the above line to:

          return $this->$class;

I'd tried that initially as: public function __get( $class ) { if(array_key_exists( $class, $this->relationships )) {

    if( $this->relationships[ $class ] == 'has_a') {
      $this->$class  = new $class( $this->id );
      return $this->$class;
    }

} } called from: $sales_order = new sales_order( 1 ); $sales_order->has_a( 'customer' ); print $sales_order->customer->address1; results in no output being generated. Using a suggestion of Todd Ruth's: public function __get( $class ) { if(array_key_exists( $class, $this->relationships )) {

    if( $this->relationships[ $class ] == 'has_a') {
      $value = $this->$class  = new $class( $this->id );
      return $value;
    }

} } and then running that same print code from above results in: 123 maple street being generated. Which is the test data that I have for the customer table associated with the sales_order with primary id of 1. Weird, huh? -- Jason N Perkins
