It's in http://php.net/oop and/or http://php.net/oop5 (php5). $this is a special variable used within methods of classes to indicate the current object instance. The '->' notation is used to access object properties and methods. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
