No, $line is an object (class instance) and dbranch_no is a property of the object.

Just learning PHP and figuring out all the syntax and stuff.  Anyway I
had a question about the code example in this post...

What does the "->" do in:

$dbranch = str_pad($line->dbranch_no, 6, '', STR_PAD_LEFT);

Is dbranch_no a "class" I don't know about?

Thanks,

Jeff

of course, you can specify the optional argument STR_PAD_LEFT like:


$dbranch = str_pad($line->dbranch_no, 6, '', STR_PAD_LEFT);

Enjoy,

This should be quite an easy task for some...


say for example $line->dbranch has a value of 3
I know that 3 spaces will be added on to the end of $dbranch


$dbranch = str_pad($line->dbranch_no, 6);


so the value of $dbranch should look like "3 "

Is there anyway to right justify the 3 using str_pad .. example still put the 3 spaces in but at the beginning???
so it looks like " 3"



Chris
