ClassesPHPMay-2007 : [‹#›] One dollar and one only… $puppy->name = ‘Rover’; The most common mistake is to use more than one dollar sign when accessing variables. The following means something entirely different.. $puppy->$name = ‘Rover’;

ClassesPHPMay-2007 : [‹#›] Using attributes within the class.. If you need to use the class variables within any class actions, use the special variable $this in the definition: class dog { var $name; function bark() { echo $this->name.‘ says Woof!’; } }

ClassesPHPMay-2007 : [‹#›] Constructor methods A constructor method is a function that is automatically executed when the class is first instantiated. Create a constructor by including a function within the class definition with the same name as the class. Remember.. if the constructor requires arguments, they must be passed when it is instantiated!
