I have checked in the mailings lists and have found no way to do this, only one other user (css - sutherland) complaining about the same.

Here goes:

How do you assign to an object instance variable within an array?

// This is somewhat perverted w.r.t. my orig. code
// ... lot of class definitions, db queries and such ...
// This is from within a class function. The class has a "has-part" rel. to CartItem 
$this->items[i] = new CartItem();
$this->items[1]->amnt++; // Parser error
$item = $this->items[1];
$item->amnt++;  	// No parser error, but assignments are by value, so nothing
 		// happens to "items[1]

I have also tried fiddling with the {} syntax of $$ variables, but to no avail - help!

It cannot be done in PHP 3.0.  Search the mailing list for
letters from me, discussing limitations of the objects
implementation in PHP 3.0.

We will try to address this in PHP 3.1
