I am not an expert at PHP and have been learning it through questions, 
books, online help, etc....  I guess like most people. :)  Anyway, I see a 
lot of scripts that use $this->something and was wondering if this was just 
another variable or if the "->" has any special meaning.  One script from 
the PHPLIB (menu.inc) has this:
$this->setup();
and there are no other times in that .inc file that lists that.  The only 
other thing that comes close is just the "funtion setup()".  This is not 
the only program that I see this in and am just wondering about it and 
trying to see if it is something that I should be using in my scripts.  The 
only time that I use this is when getting results from a mysql query like this:
        $result=mysql_query("SELECT $team from games where game_id = '$game_id'");
        while (($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))){
                $input = $row->$team;

Hopefully somebody can explain this to me.

Thanks in Advance
Steve
