note 50578 added to ref.classobj

If anyone is interested in looking for a way to dynamically load existing objects into a class, here is what I found very useful. //--------------------------------------------------------- // Dynamically load External Objects into a class function objRef ( &$obj ) { eval("\$this->obj_".get_class($obj)." = \$obj;"); } //--------------------------------------------------------- // Reference by using: $this->obj_[object Name]->[var|f{}] Example: class date { function date ( ) { $this->date = "March 3rd"; } } class time { function time ( ) { $this->time = "12:30pm"; } } class show { function objRef ( &$obj ){ eval("\$this->obj_".get_class($obj)." = \$obj;"); } function test ( $var ){ echo "$var".$this->obj_date->date." @ ".$this->obj_time->time; } } $date = new date; $time = new time; $show = new show; $show->objRef($date); $show->objRef($time); $show->test("Time Now => "); // Output: Time Now => March 3rd @ 12:30pm I found the prefix 'obj_' before the class name useful because it helped me to automatically identify external object references when scanning through my scripts. You can omit this if you want. Hope this helps someone. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.classobj.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50578 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50578&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50578&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50578&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50578&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50578&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50578&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
