ID: 31068 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: jody_leigh_salt at yahoo dot co dot uk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: XP PHP Version: 5.0.2 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. $this can not be used as variable variable, as it's not a variable but a language construct.
