join problems

[Slash-P2P]

I have some serverside local NPCs using a class on the server for house furniture where you can drag it with your mouse to move it. The dragging part is done, but I'm having a problem with 1 little thing...The join part. As of now, the local npcs set the string thiso.obj_archetype (also tried this.) to the type of furniture it is (bed, chair, etc...).

I don't think its possible to do join #s(string); But here's what I have now:

PHP Code:

if (created || initialized) {
  // Object Archetypes
  if (strequals(#s(thiso.obj_archetype),chair)) setimg amz_chair.png;
  if (strequals(#s(thiso.obj_archetype),bed)) setimg element_bed1.png;
  join ph_#s(thiso.obj_archetype);
} 


Heres something else I tried...

PHP Code:

if (created || initialized) {
  // Object Archetypes
  if (strequals(#s(thiso.obj_archetype),chair)) {
    setimg amz_chair.png;
    join ph_chair;
  }
  if (strequals(#s(thiso.obj_archetype),bed)) {
    setimg element_bed1.png;
    join ph_bed;
  }
} 


That just makes it only join the bed script...

Can anyone help?
