Q:

Calling a method of an instance of a class

Forgive me for asking such a novice question, but I can't figure out how to call a method in PHP.  Here's what I'm trying to do (in pseudocode):
class Thing {
    public string Color() {
        return "taupe";
    }
}

Thing x = new Thing();
echo x.Color();

This should echo taupe as its result.  The part I'm getting stuck on is the last line: invoking the Color method of x.  How does one do this in PHP?

A:

In PHP, you would do something like:
class Thing {
   public function color() {
      return "taupe";
   }
}

$thing = new Thing;
echo $thing->color();

You were close :)
I suggest reading up on PHP's OOP information here. They've got a lot of good information about how to set up Objects and different patterns and whatnot.
Good luck!
