Objects as Object Attributes

[froens]

Hi there. I'm building a site where i'm trying to use the DOMApi supplied with PHP.

 

The basic idea is to make all my bricks as small xml-nodes that can be apprehended by others.

 

The problem is that i'm having problems with defining objects as attributes. I'm a bit rusty with the PHP-syntax so please bear over with me.

 

class Treatmentlist extends DOMNode

{

 

private $pDomL;

private $pParent;

 

private $pInitialized;

 

public function __construct($aParent)

{

$pParent = $aParent;

$pDom = $aParent->ownerDocument;

}

 

.... some other methods ...

 

}

 

The problem is that when I refer to $pDom, it doesn't recognize it as an object of the type DOMDocument.

 

What would solve my problem ?

Not sure if this will answer your question, but I believe $pParent = $aParent should be $this->pParent = $aParent .. and so on.

 

Also, you say $pDom where the private var is $pDomL .. ?

That would be a typo  I guess.

 

The problem is that it doesn't see $pDom as an object. So I can't call on it's methods CreateElement for instance.
