I think I am going about it the correct way but the variable is not being stored or retrieved correctly from the main function. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help? Here is an example of what I am trying to do: <?php $html = "<table border='1'> \n"; $row = new htmlTableRow(); $cell1 = new htmlTableCell(); $cell1->setContent("test1"); $cell1->setName("Left test"); $row->AddCell($cell1); $cell2 = new htmlTableCell(); $cell2->setContent("test2"); $cell2->setName("right test"); $row->AddCell($cell2); $html .= $row->buildRow(); $html .= "<table>\n"; print <<<HERE <html> <body> $html </body> </html> HERE; class htmlTableRow { var $class; var $cell_arr; var $the_row; function htmlTableRow(){ $this->cell_arr = array(); }//end construct function AddCell($cell) { $this->cell_arr = $cell; $this->cell_arr[] = $cell; } function buildRow(){ $temp = "<tr>\n"; foreach($this->cell_arr as $rowdata){ $temp .= "\t<td>" . $rowdata->cell_content . "</td>\n"; }//end foreach $temp .= "</tr>\n"; return $temp; }//end build row funtion }// end htmlTableRow class class htmlTableCell { var $cell_width; var $cell_height; var $cell_colspan; var $cell_rowspan; var $css_class; var $cell_content; var $cell_name; function __construct($content = " "){ $this->cell_content = $content; }// end construct function setContent($content){ $this->cell_content = $content; }//end setContent function function setName($name){ $this->cell_name = $name; }//end setContent function function getContent(){ return $this->cell_content; }//end setContent function } //end TableCell class ?> Best regards Victor J.
