Re: $this->$string[char] bug?

Hi, It seems that to access variables in classes, one does not need a '$' after the -> operator. I'm supposing that this is because of variable functions... i.e. class Foo { var $blah = "stuff"; function Foo() { echo $this->blah[0]; } } hope this helps, Ryan On Tue, Jun 06, 2000 at 12:04:30AM -0600, David Phillips wrote: > I think I found a bug in PHP.
