$class->propertyObject->method() In case you're wondering, PHP 4 has no problem with chaining -> to refer to properties/methods of objects which are themselves properties of other objects. E.g., I was setting up a database class which wanted to know a couple of related records: In the 'dbRecord' constructor: <br> $this->child = new child_type($this->value("childFKey")); <br> In the main code: <br> $record = new parent; <br> echo $record->child->childMethod(); <br> ...works just fine :-) May be obvious to some, but it's not explicitly mentioned and I was a bit worried it wouldn't work 'cause I really need it! (I guess it follows from the same way you do $multiArray[][] to get at multidimensional array indices.) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16076 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16076 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16076
