My reply is a bit pointless as I'd never do/rely on this. But
nonetheless it was an interesting test.
function testObj() {
$arr = array();
$arr['key1'] = array(1, 2, 3);
$arr['key3'] = array('a','b','c');
return (object)$arr;
}
echo 'pre';
echo Key1: \n;
print_r(testObj()-key1);
echo Key3: \n;
print_r(testObj()-key3);
--- output
Key1:
Array
(
[0] = 1
[1] = 2
[2] = 3
)
Key3:
Array
(
[0] = a
[1] = b
[2] = c
)

[PHP] Function-returning array { OR } declare array at top of functions file?
Hi,
I just wanted to know if it is wrong, or non-standard, for me to set-up
functions that just return an array... example:
function vert_links_array():
function vert_links_array() {
return array(
'1' =
array(S_MANCOM,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=mancom',S_MANCOM_TI,'mancom'),
'2' =
array(S_BRACLU,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=braclu',S_BRACLU_TI,'braclu'),
'3' =
array(S_BRASHO,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=brasho',S_BRASHO_TI,'brasho'),
'4' =
array(S_CALDIS,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=caldis',S_CALDIS_TI,'caldis'),
'5' =
array(S_CUSMAN,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=cusman',S_CUSMAN_TI,'cusman'),
'6' =
array(S_FRIDIS,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=fridis',S_FRIDIS_TI,'fridis'),
'7' =
array(S_GOVMIL,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=govmil',S_GOVMIL_TI,'govmil'),
'8' =
array(S_INDBRA,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=indbra',S_INDBRA_TI,'indbra'),
'9' =
array(S_INDLIN,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=indlin',S_INDLIN_TI,'indlin'),
'10' =
array(S_RAICAR,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=raicar',S_RAICAR_TI,'raicar'),
'11' =
array(S_SAWGUI,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=sawgui',S_SAWGUI_TI,'sawgui'),
'12' =
array(S_ASSPRO,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=asspro',S_ASSPRO_TI,'asspro')
); // Add more here.
}
OR
Should I just put the above array at the top of my functions file and
access it as a global within other functions?
Any suggestions? I am a self-taught php dude, so please don't laugh if
this is a silly question.
Thanks. :)
Cheers,
Micky

[PHP] function returning array
How do I get a function to return an array? This code doesn't work:
function getData() {
function builds the array $theArray - tested ok
return $theArray;
}
Any help on the syntax would be appreciated.

That should work
what do you get with this:
$array = getData();
print_r($array);

Re: [PHP] function returning array
Nothing. But it I run:
function getData() {
etc..
print_r ($theArray);
return $theArray;
}
the data is definitely there.
I should add that the function is within a class so it is like this:
class excel_com {
(all tested - it works well)
function getData() {
etc..
return $theArray;
}
}
and here is an example of the call:
$xls = new excel_com($workbook, $wks);
$xls-Range($range, $inclHeader);
$header=$xls-header;
$data = $xls-getData();
$xls-close();
unset($xls);
what do you get with this:
$array = getData();
print_r($array);

Well from what is there that should work...very strange
does print_r show an empty array or nothing?
is $theArray created in the getData() function or is part of the class and
needs return $this-theArray

I think the example in the PHP manual goes something like...
function getData () {
// blah, blah
return array ('value1', 'value2', ...);
}
Then you would call it with
list ($var1, $var2, ...) = getData();
Hope that helps,

Re: [PHP] function for $array
I would use foreach instead of for, your function does not guarantie
checking all elements and also checks elements that might not have been set.

There are some (what I would call) engineering issues with your function
but it looks like it should work. Maybe your problem lies in the array?
// Cleaned up function..
function array_is_numeric($array)
{
$result=true;
for($i=0; $isizeof($array); $i++)
{
if(!is_numeric($array[$i]))
$result=false;
}
return $result;
