Hi, I believe there are more offical answes available at around the web. This is what I understand $this-> This is a base OO programming thing. IN oo world you have to create new object to do someting. like $db = new adodb; so after the generate object you will modify this object via functions. $db->execSql($sql); when you send this command, your class have to do someting with the object... and program have to know which object?, because you can create unlimited amount of object from same code. So. $this points current object. when you do someting with any object, inside of his class code his name was always $this. Hope helps.
