Hello,

This may have already be asked/discussed but I was unable to find it. I am doing some OOP programming that uses referencing the object instead of creating a fresh inside a given object. ex:

//creating system object
--blah blah

//creating debug object
$this->debugger = New Debugger($this);

--repeat for each object.
//end

by passing in $this as a parameter, debugger can now access other objects' functionality via the system object. When I am programming, let say inside of Debugger object, I can get $this and userObject to do the fancy drop down box and auto complete. Beyond that, I have to remember the method names or go look them up. I am ok with that since I am a geek, but I am trying to find a tool that other people who do not want to remember can use. haha

if ($this->userObject->isLoggedIn()) { }

I am guessing that the whole computer sciency referencing the memory location of the system object (via the passing in of $this as a param) is the reason for the trouble.

I am sure that some of you are laughing at my lack of namespacing ^_^. If you have a suggestion for learning namespacing let me know ^_^ I am a self taught person...who has had a few CS classes so i can talk about referencing as if i actually knew what it was >_< D'uh

thank you!

I forgot to add a question. Is there a way around this referencing issue?

Try to search the forum for phpDoc or phpDocumentor... for example here.
