Thanks for all the responses. I understand that $site is an instance of the class CSite, and that Run() is a function in that class. I do not understand what the operater "->" means, and what meaning the result of the function Run() has to $site. Clarification anyone?
The operator -> in this context ( $site->Run() ) sort of means "the function Run() inside the object $site". The result of the function (if there is one) is thrown away, because you don't assign it to anything. If you did this then it would be assigned to something: $result = $site->Run(); -- Jasper Bryant-Greene Freelance web developer http://jasper.bryant-greene.name/
