yup the guys above are right – you could set up a new object by assigning for example a class you made to connect to a database…
$this = new connection();
connection is the class you are accessing – inside the class are the functions – (well methods if they are inside a class – but hey…)
you can then access the functions/methods via the "->"
$this->addNew();
if you see "=>" that is what defines a key within an array – it can be a little double take-ish when you first see it though…
