Question

I recently realized my currently approach on a project would greatly improve with the use of better/more descriptive objects. As such, I realized that I want an array of objects to be a member of another class.

Edit: I wasn’t clear as to what my question was. My question is thus: How do I have an array in class LogFile that contains objects of type Match?

class LogFile
{
    public $formattedMatches;
    public $pathToLog;
    public $matchCount;
    ** An array called matches that is an array of objects of type Match **
}

class Match
{
    public $owner;
    public $fileLocation;
    public $matchType;
}

Eventually I want to be able to do something like:

$logFile = new LogFile();
$match = new Match();
$logFile->matches[$i]->owner = “Brian”;

How do I do what I described? In other words, what do I need to do in class LogFile to create an array that contains objects of type Match?

Answer 1

Yeah, that would work.

class LogFile
{
    public $formattedMatches;
    public $pathToLog;
    public $matchCount;
    public $matches = array();
}

class Match
{
    public $owner;
    public $fileLocation;
    public $matchType;
}

$l = new LogFile();
$l->matches[0] = new Match();
