Hi Thomas, Thanks for the help. That didn't work though ... Its now set to be $SDK = new sdk; Nothing :( -----Original Message----- From: Thomas [mailto:tomatosh@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 September 2005 09:08 AM To: 'Ian Barnes' Subject: RE: Help with Class Sorry for not explaining ... [code]$SDK =& new ipbsdk;[/code] initializes the $SDK variable as a reference of the class ipbsdk. The '&' operator is called the reference operator. So by leaving it out you copy (the default initialization) the resulting class object. Maybe that does the trick.

How do I init the class as a copy not a reference ? -----Original Message----- From: Thomas [mailto:tomatosh@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 September 2005 08:25 AM To: 'Ian Barnes' Subject: RE: Help with Class Hmm, that is strange because OO tells us that by nulling an object you destroy it. I don't see what the other person could have done to avoid the destruction of his class ... (that would be above my head) One more thing I would try (which you have not done yet) is to initialize the class as a copy and not a reference. That should not impair your code much because you are creating a new one ever time anyway. > think it cant be done That would somehow go against my understanding of OO programming ;-) ... Good luck.

I tried initing $SDK to null at the start but that hasn't worked either. The class that I initing isn't mine, it was written by someone else and they don't allow for multiple directories. The first run in the foreach loop runs perfectly, I get all the info back I need, so its just when the loop runs again. Here is my current code with all options I have tried: foreach ( $forums as $num=>$val ) { $SDK=null; $sdk = null; $db = new db ( 'localhost' , 'user' , 'pass' , 'db' ); $sql = 'SELECT * FROM vaults WHERE id = "'.$val.'"'; $result = $db->get($sql); $fetchd = mysql_fetch_array ( $result ); $forumid = $fetchd['forumid']; $posterid = $fetchd['posterid']; $title = $_POST['title']; $desc = $_POST['desc']; $post = $_POST['post']; require_once ( $fetchd['path'].'sdk/ipbsdk_class.inc.php' ); $SDK =& new ipbsdk; $info = $SDK -> get_info ( $posterid ); $postername = $info['name']; echo "Forum ID:".$forumid; echo "<BR>Title:".$title; echo "<BR>Desc:".$desc; echo "<BR>Post:".$post; echo "<BR>PosterID:".$posterid; echo "<BR>PosterName:".$postername; echo "<BR>"; // if ($SDK -> new_topic($forumid, $title, $desc, $post, $posterid, $postername)) { // echo 'Topic Created!'; // } else { // echo $SDK->sdk_error(); // } unset ( $sdk ); $SDK = null; unset ( $SDK ); $sdk = null; unset ( $GLOBALS['SDK']); unset ( $GLOBALS['sdk'] ) ; $GLOBALS['SDK'] = null; $GLOBALS['sdk'] = null; $_SESSION['sdk'] = null; $_SESSION['SDK'] = null; unset ( $_SESSION['SDK'] ); unset ( $_SESSION['sdk'] ); register_shutdown_function($SDK); register_shutdown_function($sdk); } So as you can see, I have tried a lot of things and im starting to think it cant be done, in which case ill just have to take the other persons class and either modify it (which is against his terms) or take what he does and do it manually myself. Thanks for the help.

Maybe you could initialize the $SDK variable on top of your loop with null ($SDK=null;) that way ever loop will serve you up with a 'nulled' $SDK variable. Does your current code not initialize the correct classes?

The reason for each directory is because the class under that directory talks only to the files in that directory and cant do multiple (its not my software) I have it so that I choose which ones I want to "post" to via checkboxes. I then do a foreach loop and here it is: foreach ( $forums as $num=>$val ) { $db = new db ( 'localhost' , 'user' , 'pass' , 'db' ); $sql = 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = "'.$val.'"'; $result = $db->get($sql); $fetchd = mysql_fetch_array ( $result ); $forumid = $fetchd['forumid']; $posterid = $fetchd['posterid']; $title = $_POST['title']; $desc = $_POST['desc']; $post = $_POST['post']; require_once ( $fetchd['path'].'sdk/ipbsdk_class.inc.php' ); $SDK =& new ipbsdk; $info = $SDK -> get_info ( $posterid ); $postername = $info['name']; echo "Forum ID:".$forumid; echo "<BR>Title:".$title; echo "<BR>Desc:".$desc; echo "<BR>Post:".$post; echo "<BR>PosterID:".$posterid; echo "<BR>PosterName:".$postername; echo "<BR>"; } See at the end of that foreach loop I need to unset the class $SDK so I can re-init it from another dir. How can I do this? I have tried some of the following: Unset ( $SDK); Unset ($GLOBALS['SDK'] ); Can anyone shed any light on my predicament ?
