$this in OOP

[La_Parka]

Awhile back, I remember hearing that using $this as a variable name for objects is a bad practice. Is my memory wrong, or are there actually technical hazards that can come with doing this?

There are; $this has a special meaning in object-oriented programming, as it always refers to "this object".

Trying to use it in any other context results in a Fatal Error message being triggered (try it for yourself: "$this=42;"). If you count that as a "technical hazard" then yes, there are.
