Question

A rather cryptic title, but it’s difficult to phrase.

Say I have an object from mysql_fetch_object(). I want to use a getter to return a value from a column.

For example, in a class, we have $this->data. How can I return say $this->data->id (ID column from table) using an argument from the getter function.

This won’t work, but something along the lines of:

public function data($key)
{
    return $this->data[$key];
}

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

I think what you’re searching for are variable variables.

But using mysql_fetch_assoc might be better suited for what you want to do.
