Relavince of $this

[stockton]

Please explain the relevance of the $this-> in the following snippet that I need to maintain.

<?php
$this->loadClass('htmlheading', 'htmlelements');
$this->loadClass('fieldset', 'htmlelements');
$this->loadClass('textinput', 'htmlelements');
$this->loadClass('hiddeninput', 'htmlelements');
$this->loadClass('label', 'htmlelements');
$this->loadClass('checkbox', 'htmlelements');
$this->loadClass('button', 'htmlelements');
$title = $this->objLanguage->languageText('mod_flights_addflight', 'flights');
// .........snip......... to save bandwidth the rest of the code has been cut out.

Thank you. I suspect that the same thing could be achieved by using globals(which is not a great idea)?

I don't see how globals comes into it. You showed us a snippet of class code that is apparently setting up some class internals.  "$this->"  indicates "this object", so it's code that calls a "loadClass" method that is part of the class definition.
