codeigniter :: instead of ->

[thewooleymammoth]

Im playin around with codeigniter and would be much happier if i could do something like this

$this::load:view('whatever');

instead of

$this->load->view('whatever');

 

because -> takes way longer to type then ::  but :: breaks my code.... anyone had any luck with this? does it work for other people? maybe its just me?

 

I tried searching but its too hard to find. :: is not a thing many search things like searching for.

:: and -> serve completely different purposes in PHP. The first is used to access static properties and methods of a class while the second is used to access methods and properties of an object.

 

This really has little to do with codeignitor but PHP itself.

ah thank you, as it was explained to me they were interchangable, perhaps its that way in c? maybe not. Thats what i get for tryin to mess with things! thanks!
