Question

How can I declare a list of objects in php as a private instance variable?

In Java the declaration would look something like this
private ArrayList<Object> ls
and the constructor would have this
ls = new ArrayList<Object>();

Thanks

PHP allocates memory dynamically and what’s more, it doesn’t care what sort of object you store in your array.

If you want to declare your array before you use it something along these lines would work:

var $myArray = array();

Then you can store any object you like in your variable $myArray. Many people find this a strange concept to grasp after working in a strict language like java.
