Hi Christopher, thanks for asking. :) Actually, it was one of those silly, right in front of my face, logic errors... class RandomSplash { var $alphabet = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm'); function randomize($what) {

        switch($what) {
                case 'css':
                $data = $this->$alphabet;
                ...
                ...
                ...

} } See the error?

For future reference it is best you provide a full code example in what your problem is when you ask the question, Asking if it something is proper isn't going to get you far. <?php echo $am_somevar; ?> is perfectly valid but accoring to the mistake you had you should have been using: <?php echo $I_am_somevar;?> It would have been more relevant to supply the problem along with the solution.

$data = $this->$alphabet; should've been: $data = $this->alphabet; At first I thought it was how I was calling the class... all works now though. :)

Good to hear you got it resolved.. Curt.
