as far as the :: is, its name (in php): The Paamayim Nekudotayim. Paamayim Nekudotayim would, at first, seem a strange choice for a double-colon. However, at the time of writing of Zend Engine 0.5 (which powered PHP3), that is what Andi and Zeev decided to call it. It actually does mean double-colon - in Hebrew! As PHP has progressed with its development it has just never changed. php4: http://www.php.net/manual/en/keyword.paamayim-nekudotayim.php php5 (comming soon): http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about.
