Re: Joomla FrameWork ::

Hello Nick, That means that the function SetVar is situated in the jRequest class. So if you want to modify the function, for example, you need to know where the class jRequest is situated. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile; Wlm&MSN: arthaelon @ yandex.ru; Jabber: arthaelon @ jabber.org Yahoo! messenger: andre.polykanine; ICQ: 191749952 Twitter: m_elensule ----- Original message ----- From: Nick Balestra <nick@beyounic.com> To: php-general@lists.php.net <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: Sunday, May 2, 2010, 5:41:07 PM Subject: [PHP] Joomla FrameWork :: I am trying to understand how the joomla framework works, i see an heavy usage of " :: " in its code, here an example: function edit () { JRequest::setVar('view, 'single'); $this ->display(); } from my really basic php understanding in the function edit i call a function setVar() and i pass the paramter 'view' and 'single' in it then the output ($this) is passed to the display() function. My question is what does :: means? an more precisely referring to the example: JRequest::setVar('view, 'single'); how do you read it and how do you manage it?
