[SOLVED] 2 objects of the same class

[cssniper]

Is there a situation that you will need 2 objects of the same class?

Absolutely.  Consider the trivial example below.

 

<?php
class Book
{
  var $author, $title;
  function Book($author, $title)
  {
     $this->author = $author;
     $this->title = $title;
  }
  function getAuthor(){ return $this->author; }
  function getTitle(){ return $this->title; }
}

// ...

$books = array();
$books[] = new Book("some guy", "some book");
$booker[] = new Book("some other guy", "some other book");

foreach($books as $book){
  $book->getTitle() . ' by ' . $book->getAuthor(); . '<br />';
}
?>

 

Best,
