you just descovered "variable variables" http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-04-05 20:32:15] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have a look at this piece of code: class User { var $Name; var $Mail function SetUser() { $this->$Name = "Bill"; $this->$Mail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; echo $this->$Name, ":", $this->$Mail; } } Maybe you will notice the mistake with the $ sign ($this->$Name instead of $this->Name, see bug report #60). But PHP doesn't print an error, it interprets the code and outputs this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] So, either PHP should produce an error, or there should be a better description of the missing $ sign in the "Classes and Objects" section of the documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=4054&edit=1
