how to build arrays of objects in PHP without specifying an index number?

Question

Here is a weird question. I am building an array of objects manually, like this:

$pages_array[0]->slug = \"index\";
$pages_array[0]->title = \"Site Ind

Assuming you're not setting any $pages_array elements elsewhere, you can set a simple variable.

$i = 0;

$pages_array[$i]->slug = "index";
$pages_array[$i]->title = "Site Index";  
$pages_array[$i]->template = "interior";
$i++;

$pages_array[$i]->slug = "a";
$pages_array[$i]->title = "100% Wide (Layout A)";
$pages_array[$i]->template = "interior";
$i++;

$pages_array[$i]->slug = "homepage";
$pages_array[$i]->title = "Homepage";
$pages_array[$i]->template = "homepage";
$i++;

You just have to remember to increment $i every time so you don't overwrite an element.
