Object or Array??

[point]

Hello there...

I have a little issue here....

Which one is better(I think object) but would like to hear from someone more
experienced....

class Persons
{
var $name;
var $comments;
var $thoughts;
var $email;

some functions.....
}

object in array:

while($line = $result->FetchRow()) //using ADODB
{
$person[$line['id']] = &new Persons;
$person[$line['id']]->name = $line['name'];
$person[$line['id']]->thoughts = $line['thoughts'];
$person[$line['id']]->email = $line['email'];
$person[$line['id']]->comments = $line['comments'];
}

or plain array:

while($line = $result->FetchRow())

$person[$line['id']]=Array("name"=> $line['name'],"thoughts"=>$l ine['thoughts
'],"email"=>$l ine['email'],"comments"=>$l ine['comments']);

thanx and respect....

p.

Define "better". Better for what? Reusability? Go with objects.
Performance? Stick with arrays and stop using abstraction layers.

Thanx for your oppinions....

I'm sticking with objects just wanted to hear your oppinions....

In my oppinion objects are more close(although more abstract) to human way
of thinking than the procedural programing.....

respect....
