How do I merge references to objects?

[laredotornado@zipmail.com]

Hi,

I'm using PHP 5. I have

$this->m_pages_arr = array_merge($th is->m_pages_arr, $p_file_obj-

>m_page_objs_ar r);

in which "$this->m_pages_arr" is an array and $p_file_obj is an object
I defined. What I would like is to merge references to objects in the
"$p_file_ob j->m_page_objs_ar r" array instead of copies of objects,
which seems to be what is happening now.

Any advice on how to merge the references? Maybe array_merge is not
the right function?

Thanks, - Dave

array_merge shouldn't clone the objects. In most cases, it would be
necessary to invoke clone directly to do that.

array_merge shouldn't clone the objects. In most cases, it would be
necessary to invoke clone directly to do that.

Unless in PHP < 5, in which case, AFAIK, you'd have to take the long way
around: foreach'ing, use only the key, make a reference, etc.

He's using PHP5, but yeah in previous versions you would certainly do
that.
