Another way to reference $this in PHP?

Question

Is there any other way to reference the current object in php other than the usual $this ???

Thank you

p.s.: I was thinking of perhaps a hidden or shorthand form..

Because I've seen some code where sometimes the `->`was used on its own, and I thought that might be another way of saying `$this->` — Felipe, Apr 09 '11 at 20:48
Why don't you ask if `->` can be used on it's own, and if so, what does it do? — Billy Moon, Apr 09 '11 at 20:50

No : that's precisely what the special-pseudo-variable $this is for.

Sure:

$t = $this

I can't say it isn't true. But I was thinking more in the lines of a core-php feature... – Felipe Apr 09 '11 at 21:04
