How about you explain what you're trying to do instead of asking why some random code snippet doesn't work (according to you)? The code does "work" for me, btw... for whatever it's supposed to be doing. $ob->prop is now a "Test" object...which is what the code does... For example, if you added var $foo = 'bar'; to the Test object and then printed out $ob->prop->foo, you'd get 'bar'. -- ---John Holmes...
