Hi I am new to PHP and I need to create an array and add both books to the array and than loop through the array this is where I am having trouble if the price of a book is less than $20.00 output the book’s name and price if the book’s title comes after the letter R in the alphabet output the book’s title.

I am getting these error:

Notice: Trying to get property 'price' of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP objects\books.php on line 45

Notice: Trying to get property 'title' of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP objects\books.php on line 49

Notice: Trying to get property 'price' of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP objects\books.php on line 50

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_first_char() on string in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP objects\books.php:52 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHP objects\books.php on line 52

My code is:

<?php
class Book {
  // Properties
  public $price;
  public $title;
  public function get_first_char() {
    $titleArray = str_split($this->title);
    return reset($titleArray);
}

  // Methods
  function set_price($price) {
    $this->price = $price;
  }
  function get_price() {
    return $this->price;
  }
  function set_title($title) {
    $this->title = $title;
  }
  function get_title() {
    return $this->title;
  }
  
}

$first_book = new Book();
$first_book->set_price('$13.95');
$first_book->set_title('Moby Dick');
echo "Price: " . $first_book->get_price();
echo "<br>";
echo "Title: " .  $first_book->get_title();
echo "<br>";
$second_book = new Book();
$second_book->set_price('$23.99');
$second_book->set_title('Wuthering Heights');
echo "Price: " . $second_book->get_price();
echo "<br>";
echo "Title: " .  $second_book->get_title();
echo "<br>";
$book = array("Moby Dick", "Wuthering Heights");
echo "Book Titles: " . $book[0] . ", "  . " and " . $book[1] . ".";

foreach ($book as $bookItem) {
    $price = $bookItem->price;
    // Right now $price is a string ('$xx.xx'), we need it to be numeric
    $price = (float) substr($price, 1);
    if ($price < 20) {
        echo $bookItem->title;
        echo $bookItem->price;
    }
    if (ord(strtoupper($bookItem->get_first_char())) > ord('R')) {
        echo $bookItem->title;
    }
}
 ?>

Any help will be very much appreciated

Thank you

What you've done is create an array of strings. The Book objects that represent 'Moby Dick' and 'Wuthering Heights' are $first_book and $second_book. So this is what you're looking for:

$book = array($first_book, $second_book);
