Hey nephish,
You have some very good questions. I recently had some of these as
well.

> {
> var $start;
> var $finish;
You don't HAVE to declair these variables here. It's just good
practice to do so as you can change the scope of the variables here.
> function MyClass($start, $finish)
If you're using PHP 5, I'd HIGHLY recommend that you use the following
instead of what you are using here:
function __construct($start,$finish)
Why? Because the method of building a construct using the same name as
the class itself it old-school PHP 4 stuff. If you're still using PHP
4, then by all means, keep at it. The "__construct" method is the new
method for PHP 5. Just cleans things up a bit! Give it a try. :)

I see no reason why this should not work. In a recent post here in
this same group, I posted a very similar example for a Database
instantiation class:
function __construct() {
$db['host'] = "localhost";
$db['user'] = "root";
$db['pass'] = "";
$db['name'] = "pbtportal";
$link = mysql_connect($db['host'],$db['user'],$db['pass']);
mysql_select_db($db['name'],$link);
}
Works like a charm! In this case, I did not declair the variable "$db"
but probably should have.

I hope that helps!
