In early days of PHP objects, you sometimes couldn't use two arrow operators with, errr, references??? So an easy way to maybe fix this and move on with your life: $admin = $this->admin_instance; return $admin->checkConnectino(); Seems kinda bogus to me, but... Hey, you're missing a ';' at the end of that line there... Hopefully not in the real code... Or maybe it's not needed before the } in this construct. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
