$this->varname refers to a class variable (property) which is available to
any function (method) within that class. This is not to be confused with
$varame which refers to a variable whose scope is limited to the current
method.
$this->function() refers to another function (method) within the same class,
as opposed to function() without $this->) which refers to a non-class method
which exists in global scope.
Basically $this-> is used within a class method to refer to something else
which exists within the same class.
