Just a quicky -- I have yet to see anyone define an array within a class, yet if it is possible, would i be able to access that array with $this->array["variable"];?

I've designed a class that has a method that RETURNS an array, but it sounds like you want to define one of the properties of your class as an array, i.e.: class testObject {

        var $testarray = array("firstindex" => "firstvalue",
                "secondindex" => "secondvalue");

        ...

} I haven't personally done this, but I can't see why it wouldn't be possible. Then if you wanted to access it inside a method you should be able to the way you have described, like:

        function testMethod () {

                return $this->testarray["firstindex"];
        }

Should work....why don't you give it a shot and see what happens? :)
