Hi,

Start here:
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.classobj.php

In short: $this references to the instantion of a class.
If that doesn't make too much sense, first read through the chapters on
www.php.net.
If you want to REALLY learn OOP (Object Oriented Programming) you must find
a good book. (You can ask in here for tips, or browse though the group
because that question is asked many times before.)

Please note that PHP5 has better support for OOP than PHP4 had.

Regards,
Erwin Moller
