note 9401 modified in Classes and Objects by jmcastagnetto

[Editor's note: This has to do with the ambiguity of the expression used. When the assignment fails it is because the expression could mean "the property 'tuut' of the object '$this->memberobject'" or "the property 'memberobject->tuut' of the object '$this'", parsing of variables inside quotes in which you have a complex expression is not recommended, the way it should be done is by using the concatenation operator, which is why the last assignment works. This is a know behaviour, see for example the "Variable variables" section of the manual.] i might be wrong here, but to me it seems that (within a method) something like this: $bla = "boink and $this->tuut"; does work, but not this: $bla = "boink and $this->memberobject->tuut"; I had to resort to $bla = "boink and ".$this->memberobject->tuut; in this case. http://www.php.net/manual/classes-and-objects.php
