herbally Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Anyone mind explaining what the "->" portions of the following code do? I've been reading a lot about php in the last few days and have yet to uncover the meaning. Thanks! $results = $this->db->safeQuery('SELECT * FROM mosaic_target WHERE filename="%s" LIMIT 1;', $filename); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/195710-newb-syntax-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 It is used with objects to access a property or method of an object. See OOP for more information on Object Oriented Programming. Basically $this means it is being used inside the context of an object (generally a class) so it calls itself. db is a property of the object and safeQuery is a method inside of the db property (which is probably an object itself).
