Re: What is $this->

HI,

$this->SetFont('Arial','B',15);

what you include is a snippet from a class. Here is a brief into to how a class works, sort of like a function. The $this refers to the class from inside of the class. <?php class write{ var $message; function set($message){

              $this->$message = $message;

} function display(){

             print "$this->message\n";

} }// class write //actually use the class $class = new write(); $class->set("This is a test message"); $class->display(); ?> I hope this helps.
