In olden times, of PHP 3, you could for sure use ->x and [x] interchangeably, as an Object then was little more than a C struct with a couple functions tacked on, as was an array. I think PHP 3 Object may actually have been implemented as a PHP array with some additional C functions on it, come to think of it... Anyway, I believe this feature has survived to this day, but would not swear to it in court. I think your code will be more readable if you stick with one style or the other, personally, but I suppose there may be cases where [x] is equally clear. Note that $customClass->key = $value; would probably also work, and be more in tune, even if it's not a declared member variable of the class. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
