Unless $var is set to 'var' in which case it is the same thing and you will get the same fatal error as on the line before. The only way for $object->$var to print 2 in your example is if you have $var = 'foo' and MyClass has a public property named foo with a value of 2. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
