Is there a generic Object in PHP?

[KDawg44]

Hi,

I would like to have a function that takes a generic object and takes
some action on this. Something like,

function AMethod(Object obj) {
DoSomeStufftotheObject;
}

then be able to pass various object types in. Is there a way to do
this in PHP? Do classes automatically inherit from a generic Object
like in Java?

Thanks.

No, there is no generic object in PHP. However, you don't need to
specify what kind of object is being passed, i.e.

function AMethod($obj) {

will take anything (not just objects). And from there you can figure
out what was passed.

Thank you.... my brain is stuck in JAVA mode and i forgot you do not
have to declare what is being passed in!

Thanks!

you can also do if(is_object($var)) to make sure its an object.
