Let's say you've got an object, with a property that contains an array with several values:
$foo->bar = array( 0=>'quiz', 1=>'quuz', 2=>'quux' ); You want to get the value of $foo->bar[1], but all you have is the string "bar[1]" to work with (because it's a key in a submitted form), as $key = "bar[1]"; The classic, and deeply abhorrent, way to do this is: eval( "\$value = \$foo->$key;" ); I thought that $value = $foo->{$key} might work, but it doesn't. Does anyone have a pattern to solve this? -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
