Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem with the below code. It's probably a simple mistake as I'm relatively new to PHP, and even newer to socket programming.
The background is that I'm developing a socket server for a multiplayer game. Here is the relevant code:
class PlayerList {
var $plist = array();
public function addPlayer (Player $x) {
$plist[] = $x;
echo "players added. total: ".count($plist);
}
public function removePlayerNick ($x) {
foreach ($plist as $k => $thePlayer) {
if ($thePlayer->getNick() == $x) {
unset ($plist[$k]);
}
}
$plist = array_values ($plist);
}
public function removePlayer ($i) {
unset ($plist[$i]);
$plist = array_values ($plist);
}
public function getNumPlayers () {
return count($plist);
}
public function getPlayer ($i) {
return $plist[$i];
}
public function message (String $m, String $n) {
foreach ($plist as $k => $thePlayer) {
socket_write($thePlayer->getSocket(), "/msg ".$n." ".$m);
}
}
}The call to this class goes as follows:
$sock = socket_accept($socket);
echo "sock: ".$sock;
$p = new Player($sock);
$i = $allPlayers->addPlayer($p);
echo "numplayers: ".$allPlayers->getNumPlayers();Now what I want to do is to add the newly created Player $p to the array $allPlayers. But that is not what happens. The output is as follows:
sock: Resource id #5
players added.
total: 1
numplayers: 0
The 'total:1' is to prove that the player IS being added to the array, however in the very next line, I ask the object to return its size, and it returns 0!
As I said, I presume it's something simple, but I've spent a while on this now... long enough to justify posting this question!
Thanks in Advance for any help...
