Note Submitter: somebody at somewhere dot com ---- It should be noted that PHP, unlike many other OO languages (C++, Java, etc.), doesn't push all members to the global namespace while inside a method, so when accessing members, going through $this to do so is NOT optional. Example: <?php // $variable and method() are a member variable and a member function, respectively $variable = 'foo'; // wrong $this->variable = 'foo'; // right method(); // wrong $this->method() // right ?>
