Using Classes within another class.

[AJ]

Ok,

I have a "form" class, which I am going to use to generate HTML forms.

I also have a form_input, which I use to generate the individual HTML
input elements.

What I want to do is some how manage the instances of the form_input
class, within the form class. There should be no problem with this, but I
can't work out how I can store an unspecified number of instances of one
class within another, is it possible to do something like this, and store
them in an array?

$input_array[] = new form_input(some vars...);
$input_array[] = new form_input(some vars...);
$input_array[] = new form_input(some vars...);
$input_array[] = new form_input(some vars...);

then when I want to do stuff with the individual form elements I can do:

$input_array[1]->do_some_functi on();
$input_array[2]->do_some_functi on();

Or more likely what I would like to do, is use a foreach loop.

Has anyone done something like this before, and can offer tips?

Many Thanks,
Harry

Duh!

Sorry, I'm having one of those days!! It turns out, what I was trying is
possible - but I had cocked up some syntax along the way.

Thanks,
