PHP5 - Populating an array variable within a class

Hello group.

I have the following class....

PHP Code:


		
			
class Storm

{

  public $StormName;

  public $StormID;

  public $Latitude = array();  //used to hold a list of positions

  public $Longitude = array(); //same as above

}

When I want to add values to my class I've been trying the following, but my arrays are not being populated.
I get an error message ... array_push first argument should be an array....

PHP Code:


		
			
 $aStorm = new Storm();

$aStorm->StormName = 'test';  //works!

$aStorm->StormID = '4';          //works! 

array_push($aStorm->Latitude, '23.4'); //does not work

array_push($aStorm->Longitude, '75.4'); //does not work

Please help with the correct way to populate the array.
Many thanks!
Bryan

Whoops, you gave the error, I scrolled past it.

It works for me:

php Code:

Original - php Code
<?php class Storm { public $StormName; public $StormID; public $Latitude = array(); //used to hold a list of positions public $Longitude = array(); //same as above } $aStorm = new Storm(); $aStorm->StormName = 'test'; //works! $aStorm->StormID = '4'; //works! array_push($aStorm->Latitude, '23.4'); //does not work array_push($aStorm->Longitude, '75.4'); //does not work print_r($aStorm);

<?php
 
class Storm
{
  public $StormName;
  public $StormID;
  public $Latitude = array();  //used to hold a list of positions
  public $Longitude = array(); //same as above
}  
 
$aStorm = new Storm();
$aStorm->StormName = 'test';  //works!
$aStorm->StormID = '4';          //works! 
array_push($aStorm->Latitude, '23.4'); //does not work
array_push($aStorm->Longitude, '75.4'); //does not work  
 
print_r($aStorm);

Result:

Code:

php -f storm.php 
Storm Object
(
    [StormName] => test
    [StormID] => 4
    [Latitude] => Array
        (
            [0] => 23.4
        )

    [Longitude] => Array
        (
            [0] => 75.4
        )

)

What version of PHP is this?

I feel so stupid.... I misspelled a word (even though I spelled it correctly in the quick example above...) I've spent no less than 3 hours trying to figure this out and it comes down to something so simple....
Thanks for your help and clarity!

Bryan
