iloveny Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 $db =DB::connect($datasource) if (DB::isError($db)) { die($db->getMessage()); } That was the code for connection to database. There are signs on first line and third line ('::' and '->'), what is that means and what you call that sign? many thanks in advanced!!

trq Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 The :: lets you call a static method from within a class without having to instantiate an object first. The second -> lets you call an objects method. Assuming you are also new to OOP then alot of what I just said may or may not have gone straight over your head. For more info on classes and objects, take a look at this section of the manual.
