[RESOLVED] $This->

[Dawg]

Can anyone tell me what that means. I have been playing with php and I come across some code I want to use/customize for a purpose. Here is a snipet:

$this->iMax=count($images);
$this->imageNames=$images;
$this->linkNames=$links;

What the tarnation is: $this->

Thanks
Dave

It's used within class definitions to point to class attributes and methods. $this->methodName() means "the method (function) named 'methodName' defined elsewhere within this class", while $this->varName means "the attribute (variable) named $varName defined for this class."

See http://www.php.net/class for lots more info.

Thanks,

There is so much to learn and not enough years left.
