A simple function for loading an array with an object

<? 
// Function for loading an array with an object.  I tried loading the array by 
// setting $event_object equal to the object, which didn't seem to return the right 
// values for later use.   
// I ended up pushing objects (using array_push($_name_of_array_, 
// $_object_or_value_to_push_) ).  This enable me to use the return the $event_list 
// array in a usable form. 

function getEvents($filename) { 
//string $filename 
  $event_list = array(); 
  $event_object = new event(); 
  $i = 0; 

  @ $fp = fopen($filename, "r"); 
  if(!$fp) { 
    echo "<p><strong>Cannot open ".$filename." for reading mode...</strong></p>"; 
   exit; 
  } 

  while(!feof($fp)) { 
    $temp = fgetcsv($fp, 1024, ":"); 
    if(!$temp) break; 
    $event_object->init($temp[0],$temp[1],$temp[2],$temp[3],$temp[4], 
                                    $temp[5],$temp[6],$temp[7],$temp[8]); 
    if(!array_push($event_list, $event_object)) break; 
  } 
  fclose($fp); 

  return $event_list; 
}
