I am such a newb - but slowly coming up to speed here. I'm coming from an exclusively VB/VBA backgroung, and I'm attempting to learn CCS and PHP simultaneously (I know - not recommended!). I'm struggling to differentiate between CCS naming conventions and PHP syntax conventions. Regarding the following code generated by CCS:
$spacekeySearch->Label1->SetValue("My Test Value")
Is "$spacekeySearch->Label1->SetValue" a single variable name (the result of CCS using very descriptive variable naming conventions)? Or is the "->" portion of the string an object hierarchy delimiter (i.e. the spacekeySearch object is the parent of Label1 object, which is in turn the parent of the SetValue method). If the latter, is this a CCS specific approach or a PHP standard?
In general, is PHP an object-oriented programming language? Such a basic question, but my books haven't arrived from Amazon yet! LOL

Your latter assumption is correct .... you might want to try www.php.net for some documentation until your books arrive ...

Kitch,
Thanks. . . trust me, I have bookmarks all over php.net, and I've been reading the site like crazy. But their search functionality ain't so hot (you author one of the most-used web tools on the planet, and the search functionality of your support page uses GOOGLE???) and apparently doesn't consider "->" to be a valid search string. . .
I WILL learn this!

Stick with it - I went through the same learning curve about a year ago & now I wouldn't willingly use anything else. You'll find that CCS has one or two "random features", but you'll quickly discover how to work round them + there are plenty of people in the forum & on the newsgroup to give you a hand 
Good luck !
