Hi, I am just learning about classes. My server is running PHP 4.3.11 Example code: class testing { var $what; } $linkGenClass = new testing(); $linkGenClass->what = 'hi'; echo $linkGenClass->what; Why does the constructor require the "()"? I have seen many examples via google that do not use "()". Should I worry about capitalizing the first letter of the class? Can class names have underscores? Are spaces allowed on either side of the "->"? Is "var $what" PHP 4 and 5, whereas "public $what" is PHP 5? Got any good links to class tutorials for PHP 4.3.11? Sorry to sound like a PHP noob. TIA, Cheers, Micky
