The post I just sent to the list regarding your earlier question explains this. If you do not instantiate an object before using it, it is automatically instantiated as an object of the stdClass class. You can then add and read attributes, like an "array dressed up as an object." Jasper -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The answer seems to be that $CFG is an array dressed up as an object.The books that I'm learning from don't show this concept. Could some kind soul give an example. Thanks. http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.object.php When you use the uninitialised $CFG as an object, an object of class stdClass is created. You can then assign and read stuff to and from its properties, basically like you said, as an "array dressed up as an object". There's no real reason for doing this although it may be a hack because some of the required files in that script may expect a $CFG object to exist.

[PHP] Anyone on the list using Moodle?
Hi, Before I post some of the install script for Moodle I thought that I would ask how $CFG gets instantiated in the install.php script. Thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
