Hy people, I have an existential doubt regarding php classes. I have been a php programmer for quite a long time, but never could figure out the clear difference between using this-> or self:: when calling member functions, wether they are private or public. I used them indistinctly and seemed to sort the same effects, although, when working with statics classes, self:: was the only way to access members. Well, that's all, any can put me some light on the matter?
"when working with statics classes, self:: was the only way to access members." That's the way I understand it. And that only works in PHP5, sadly no self:: in PHP4... Ed
