Hi,

is there something like an object id accessible?

Example: I do this

php > $a = new stdclass;
php > $a->b = new stdclass;
php > var_dump($a);
object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
["b"]=>
object(stdClass)#2 (0) {
}
}
php >

and var_dump() shows me unique ids of the classes. Is there a function for it?

/Str.

Classes do not have id's. Objects have unique ids, but they are only
for reference and can change.

Why would you want such a function?

To detect loops in a tree. Just an idea.

I know I can give them an id, but only if it's necessary...

/Str.

I'm not sure the object id remains consistent. I don't see any reason
it would change, but I've never seen anything in PHP indicating it has
to be that way, either.

I'd suggest just sticking your own id in the object. Then you know what
you have.

You can use === to check if two variables refer to the same object:

$a = new stdclass;
$a->foo = 42;
$b = new stdclass;
$b->foo = 42;
$c = $a;
var_dump( $a === $b, $a === $c, $b === $c );

Result:
false, true, false

Greetings,
Thomas

I see. One of the 1597 internal functions in my system...
