Hi As a complement to the answers you have had here I wish to ammend the following.
The Run in the example is a function, and because this function is inside a
Class object, it is called a method.
A class is a set of variables (properties) and functions (methods) that you
can create instances of.
I suggest you consult the complete php documentation with user comments and
examples at php.net. Available in many languages. This manual is used by
many -including me- on a daily basis.
Hope this helps
With kind regards
Andy
