I'm very new with PHP and OOP techniques.
So I have no problem creating a object like so:
$member1 = new Member('person 1');
But is there a way to return a bunch of objects. So that I can iterate through them and put them in the DOM?

class Example
{
public function getPeople()
{
$objs = array();
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
{
$obj[] = new Person('Person ' . ($i + 1));
}
return $objs; // returning an array of Person objects
}
}
$example = new Example();
foreach($example->getPeople() as $person)
{
// Do something with $person
}

Can I create a Class, that returns an array of objects? I want to search for some members, and then display them in the DOM.

You can create a method that returns an array of objects. Class - code abstraction. Object - instantiation of a class.

What I mean to ask is, Can I put a method in a class that returns a bunch of objects?

@Gamak Sure, you can make it a static method so that it's not related to a specific object but can be called generally.

In order to get objects, one possible way is to use array :-
$members = new members( array(...));
// you can assess any member via $members->members[$some_id]
// class to return list of members
class members ()
{
public $members = array();
public function __construct( array $ids)
{
foreach ($id as $id)
{
$this->members[$id] = new Member($id);
}
}
}
class member()
{
public function __construct($id)
{
// any other thing you want to do
}
}
