| You're correct, in that instance it's calling a function setFetchMode() (or method, if you prefer). It's actually just used to reference part of an object (be it a variable or a function or whatever). In this case, $db is the object. __________________ |

| True, it's terse, but you're not a dummy either - you have experience with other languages. The only question you need to answer is how PHP handles things differently than the other languages you know. I generally choose a task to complete in a new language and then do the necessary research. After I've built that program, I generally have a good idea of how the language works relative to the others I know. |
