Well,
I thought my question was pretty straightforward, but evidently it was not.
I was looking for a way to store data in php and be able to display with $whatever->whatever format. I thought (wrongly) this was probably in relation to some array manipulation, hence the subject line. I also thought (wrongly again) that some of the gurus here in tek-tips would have identified my needs even with a non correct subject line and, using a bit of flexibility, understood what my question was really about.
Fortunately I found out a way to do it myself, so my problem is now solved.
Thanks anyway, I know you dedicate a lot of your time for this board and that's something that is really appreciated.
