not sure if this was mentioned on the general list but, i believe what youre
describing is documented in the manual under php5 classes/objects -> "the
basics":
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php
$this is a reference to the calling object (usually the object to which the
method belongs, but can be another object, if the method is called
statically <http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php> from the
context of a secondary object).
