Jason, thanks. Yes, I understand your example here very well. My
question actually had more to do with understanding what value was added
to the class by "$myref = &$this;". Perhaps it is some misunderstanding
I have of classes but, since a class is just a pattern and not an
actual, usable o
My question is actually regarding the line "$myref = &$this;". The
author states that this is a reference to the class/object itself. Isn't
this like saying outside the class "$myref =& new test;"? What would be
the point of referring to itself inside the class in this manner?
Thanks for you
It's not the same thing. When an variable references an object then you
can change either the original object or the new variable and you will
be changing the *same* object, not a new one. Maybe this example helps?
class test {
function test($val) {
global $myref;
