I have to agree, your example works fine for me. For testing I used the latest stable Release of server2go with PHP 5.2.10. Or do you want to use something like that: class o { protected $arr = array('a'=>0); function o($n){$this->arr['a'] = $n;} function getA(){return $this->arr['a'];} } $o = array( new o(1), new o(2) ); if ( end($o)->getA() > 1 ) { echo "yeah"; } Which works fine as well ...
