Took a look around and can't find anything on a double colon.
What does it do?
ive just been looking around and i cant find anything either mate,
also what does this mean:
->
Focus your looking around on the manual. Especially on the chapter on objectsand classes.
What manual?
And I know it has something to do with objects and classes, otherwise, why would I want to know what it is?
I have done the research and I can't find it. Does anyone know?
http://php.net/manual/en - The Manual bookmark it its your one stop of all functions for PHP
also your link http://www.php.net/manual/en/keyword.paamayim-nekudotayim.php
So when you did your search, did you type in "constructors"?
Because when I typed the symbol in, I got nothing relevant back.
I appreciate your help!
it is used when you want to reference a method in a class that has been declared static.
Classname::method();
Any changes made will be reflected in every instance of the class.

Considering that it has something to do with objects and constructors, an obvious place to look would have been the Contents page of the manual - funnily enough, it gives the title of Chapter 13 as Classes and Objects which sounds close enough or at least a good place to start.
And Chapter 13 starts
Chapter 13. Classes and Objects Table of Contents class extends Constructors :: parent Serializing objects - objects in sessions The magic functions sleep and wakeup References inside the constructor Comparing objects in PHP 4 Comparing objects in PHP 5
Chapter 13. Classes and Objects
Table of Contents class extends Constructors :: parent Serializing objects - objects in sessions The magic functions sleep and wakeup References inside the constructor Comparing objects in PHP 4 Comparing objects in PHP 5
The rest I leave as an exercise for the reader.
Now that I know I about the "manual" it will be much easier to reference it!
Thanks again 🙂
