Scenario:

<?php
$arr=Array('user'=>"Tony",'pass'=>"Ayo";

echo $arr->user;
?>

Comment:
But of course, the above code will not run.

Question:
What do i add to the code to make it work? and why?
Please post the correction to win the quiz.

;d

N wa o, mr lojik, na you don clock all the nairaland post.

Well, since no one chose to answer it sha, it is the object function or call or wharever that does that.

If you have used some APIs like Joomla, Drupal and some other ones you will notice some arrays are
presented this way:
In drupal sometimes, we can say
<?php
global $user;
if($user->uid) {echo "Hola $user->name | Logout";} else {echo "Hola Guest | Please login";}
?>

Oh well, the answer to the quiz is:

<?php
$arr=Array('user'=>"Tony",'pass'=>"Ayo";
$arr=(object) $arr;
echo $arr->user;
?>

or

<?php
$arr=(object)Array('user'=>"Tony",'pass'=>"Ayo";
echo $arr->user;
?>

My framework uses such a technique as well.

The framework is almost ready. All the extensions are working fine - modules, themes and stuffs.

However, i want to give it a form API - to allow for easier code management, followed by some
users API - then i will publish the work so far on dhtmlframework.com and create a new thread for it.

ahh, na wah o, you post question, u ansa am yourself

that was a good question i feel bad for not coming online to answer that most frameworks do that converting arrays to Object. e,g JDatabase::loadObjectList();

Well, thank you for admitting that it was a good quiz. Well, i am kinda itching to start my new framework thread. But i have to upload first
before i do that.
The critical stuff i am adding to my framework is the form API very much similar to the drupal FORM API by 90%.

hello, drupal Form Api is cool but have a little look at that of Yii Framework
its much better.

For now, i just want to have a form api. With time and with some contributions, i will improve on it.
A framework is easier to extend compared to a cms. Working alone is quite killing atimes. . . .

a solution that is more advanced

<?php


    class arrayClass
{
    public function __construct( $array = array() )
    {
        foreach( $array as $key => $value )
        {
            if( is_array($value) && count($value) > 0 )
                $this->$key = new arrayClass( $value );
            else
                $this->$key = $value;
        }
    }
}
       
  //Usage
$p = array('a'=>'apple', 'b'=>'ball', 'others'=>array('c'=>'cup','d'=>'donkey'));


$newObject = new arrayClass($p);

echo $newObject->a . "<br>"  ;
echo $newObject->others->c;

?>

Yeeeepa! you don use sledgehammer kill mosquito! It looks like you need work to do, ok, let me give you an advanced work to do:

$form= array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => 'Display of XML feed items',
'#default_value' => "teaser",
'#options' => array(
'title' => 'Titles only',
'teaser' => array(user=>'Tony',pass=>'ayo'),
'fulltext' => 'Full text',
),
'#description' => 'Global setting for the length of XML feed items that are output by default.',
);

That is a multi-level/multi-dimensional array and also ehm paired or as you say - associative.

Now, i want you to write a function that can search and replace

so you search for any key e.g fulltext, and replace with babes.
array_replace_val('fulltext',"Babes",$form);

i dey laugh lolllllllllllllllllllllllllll?
i will recursively search either using a preg_match or array_search
i have somethings doing i will get back later

Okay, till you return then. . . .i was thinking by now you for don solve am. . .

in short take am

<?

$form= array(
 '#type' => 'select',
 '#title' => 'Display of XML feed items',
 '#default_value' => "teaser",
 '#options' => array(
   'title' => 'Titles only',
   'teaser' => array(user=>'Tony',pass=>'ayo'),
   'fulltext' => 'Full text',
 ),
 '#description' => 'Global setting for the length of XML feed items that are output by default.',
);

function ArraytoObject($array=array()){
      foreach($array as $k=>$v){
          if(is_array($v) && count($v)>0){
              $k = strtolower($k);
              $array[$k]=(object)$v;
                           
          }
         
      }
      return (object)$array;
     
}

$q = ArraytoObject($form) ;

if(property_exists($q,''teaser'')){
  $q->teaser->user = "binkabir';

} else throw new Exception ($e){
echo "dis one no be object  see the error wey you cos ". $e;


}

Lol. . .this one na oop amigo!
