return values from class methods

[John Garvin <jgarvin@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm getting confused here. Perhaps someone could point me to an
appropriate section of the manual?

I have a class defined like so:
<?php
        class tclass {
                var $mya;
                var $myb;

                function tclass() {
                         $this->mya = "";
                         $this->myb = "";
                         }
                function  & squareit($mya) {
                         $this->myb = ($this->mya * $this->mya);
                         return $this->myb;
                         }
        }
?>

and I'm calling it like this:
<?php
require('tclass.php');

$myvar = new tclass;
$tclass->squareit(11);

echo "result is $tclass";
?>

it outputs "result is Object".
When I include the function 'squareit' in a script without the oo
stuff, I get the result I expect.
What am I missing? 

Thanks very much.
