'this' reference

[yasmine]

hi friends,

May i know what is the purpose of the 'this' in php? Is it pointer or reference?
eg:

[CODE=text]$this -> filename = $obj -> filename;
$this -> filepath = $obj -> filepath;[/CODE]

Is there any difference between the this reference in C++ and 'this' in PHP?

Plz, clear my doubt....

Thanx n regards
Yas

$this ->

Is used within classes.
Since i have yet to put my hand to classes i don't know much about them.
