Hi Max

This follows on from your reply here regarding this use of $this->data.

I have successfully read data from two tables. {debug:} shows that the data is in $this. The processing is a bit complex so I now want to access that data in an external PHP function.
I have set up a function

$blnSuccess=MandP_function($this);

and the php function called is simply

function MandP_function($this) {
  var_dump($this->data);
  return TRUE;
}

.
That throws an error which is, I believe, a PHP error, the fix for which Is beyond my current knowledge.

So the questions are -
[list=]How can I get around that error and access my data?[/list]
or
[list=]How can I just pass my data to that function?[/list]

If I modify my function to be

$blnSuccess=MandP_function($this->data);

and the called function to be

function MandP_function($this) {
  var_dump($this);
  return TRUE;
}

then the data I get from the dump is

array(7) { ["conn"]=> string(20) "ManageMemberPartners" ["user_id"]=> string(4) "1493" ["function"]=> string(4) "SWAP" ["event"]=> string(4) "view" ["Itemid"]=> string(3) "610" ["option"]=> string(23) "com_chronoconnectivity6" ["view"]=> string(10) "connection" } 

No data from the db read. That data is there - if I dump all of $this in the first example - I can see it - just can't work out how to get to it!

Hope this is clear..😲😲

Hi Max

Thanks for the fast response - that works a treat.
