$this->

[PHPNS]

Hi, Can someone please explain to me the, logic behind  using $this->, in the following code, or at least point me to appropriate online explanations:

 

class counter {

  var $db;

  var $sid;

  var $dbtable;

  var $online;

  function counter () {

    global $db, $tblcounter;

    $this->db = $db;

    $this->table = $tblcounter;

    $this->sid = session_id();

    $this->do_count();

  }

[.Stealth]

the above example is a class, used in object orientated programming.

if you dont know what object orientated programming is then you've got some learning ahead of you.

 

i tried to learn object orientated programming and quit after a hour lol.

[trq]

$this is a special variable that points to the current instantiation of the object its contained within.

Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of object oriented programming.  Just need to figure out how to do it .

 

Thanks.
