[PHP] Joomla FrameWork ::
I am trying to understand how the joomla framework works, i see an heavy usage
of:: in its code, here an example:
function edit ()
{
JRequest::setVar('view, 'single');
$this -display();
}
from my really basic php understanding in the function edit i call a function
setVar() and i pass the paramter 'view' and 'single' in it then the output
($this) is passed to the display() function.
My question is what does :: means? an more precisely referring to the example:
JRequest::setVar('view, 'single'); how do you read it and how do you manage
it?
Cheers, Nick

hi nick,
:: is what we call 'scope resolution operator', $this is your 'current scope'.
i guess you better read

Re: [PHP] Joomla FrameWork ::
Hello Nick,
That means that the function SetVar is situated in the jRequest class.
So if you want to modify the function, for example, you need to know
where the class jRequest is situated.
