Arrrgh! OOP PHP4 PHP5 create properties on the fly

Guys,

This is doing my head in…

Its not really CI related but as you are all PHP experts as well

I have the following code

$this->Results->Drivers=  $this->F1_drivers_model->get_alldrivers();
      foreach   ($this->Results->Drivers as $loop)
      {
        $loop->Name = $this->F1_drivers_model->get_drivername($loop->ID);
        $loop->Cost = $this->F1_drivers_model->get_drivercost($loop->ID);
        $loop->TeamID = $this->F1_drivers_model->get_driverteam($loop->ID);
        $loop->TeamName = $this->F1_drivers_model->get_driverteamname($loop->ID);
        print $loop->ID . " " . $loop->Name . " [" . $loop->Cost . "] " . $loop->TeamName . "<BR>";
      } 

PHP:

get_alldrivers() just gets an array of objects, each object contains one property ‘->ID’In both PHP4 and PHP5 the print line displays the correct data.
In PHP5 the values set in loop are available under

$this->Results->Drivers->object->Name 
$this->Results->Drivers->object->Cost etc.. 

PHP:

The data has been passed to the MVC view as $data[’Drivers’]

and is retreived by using

foreach ($Drivers as $Driver);
{
  print $Driver->Name;
  print $Driver->Cost;
} 

PHP:

This works sucessfully in the development environment (XP pro / Xampp / PHP 5)

but in live (Linux / Apache / PHP 4) I get the following error message:

A PHP Error was encountered 
Severity: Notice 

Message: Undefined property: Name

PHP:

any idea how to stop this. I know that returning all the properties as part of the data set means that they are created and availalbe to update, but I would really like to be able to create them on the flu in PHP4.

Thanks

Obiron

 

Maybe try $Driver->name or something?

 

do

print_r( $Driver );
