Hi As a complement to the answers you have had here I wish to ammend the following. The Run in the example is a function, and because this function is inside a Class object, it is called a method. A class is a set of variables (properties) and functions (methods) that you can create instances of. I suggest you consult the complete php documentation with user comments and examples at php.net. Available in many languages. This manual is used by many -including me- on a daily basis. Hope this helps With kind regards Andy On Tuesday 27 September 2005 22:29, Lowell Herbert wrote: > On Sep 27, 2005, at 4:19 PM, Jasper Bryant-Greene wrote: > > Lowell Herbert wrote: > >> Thanks for all the responses.
