Array of type class

I'm making a class (just basics) and I need help on returning an array of my object. Something like this

VB Code:

<?php
class comment{
    function select_all(){
        // I should return all comments from the database.
    }
}
?>

Something like this in java.

VB Code:

import java.util.*;
public class comment{
    public List<comment> select_all(){
        List<comment> list=new ArrayList<comment>();
        return list;
    }
}

Hope I don't make non sense post. :)

Is this in PHP 4, if so you should use references:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
//PHP 4
class comment{
    function select_all(){
        
        // I should return all comments from the database.
        $ret = Array(); // create blank array

        // code here o get comments
        
        foreach ($comments as $comment) {
            $ret[] = & new Comment($comment); // use the & operator to make it a reference
        }

        return $ret;        

    }
}
?>

---

In PHP 5 references are automatic:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
//PHP 5
class comment{
    public function select_all(){
        
        // I should return all comments from the database.
        $ret = Array(); // create blank array

        // code here to get comments
        
        foreach ($comments as $comment) {
            $ret[] = new Comment($comment); // no reference needed
        }

        return $ret;        

    }
}
?>

Thanks, I'll try that one and post if I have some question(s). Thanks again.
