parijat_php Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi, I have noticed php5 makes extensive use of the $this keyword. I have a very vague idea why? Can anyone please illustrate this, also I know how it is used in the context of Java, but find it difficult to make sense out of it in PHP. If anyone can give me an explanation or point to a page with a great explanation, that would be great!
