When you’ve stopped scratching your head or falling about laughing and calling your mates in to view the screen (’cos you can’t pronounce the words) just make sure that all your variables have their $s in tact!
Googling for it will come up with interesting etymology when you have the time.

Paamayim Nekudotaim means dobule colon – ::

Thanks Shai, now everyone can see the meaning here too! I believe it is from the Hebrew – because of where php was mostly developed?
I have never had cause to use a :: in my code but I sometimes forget the $ on a variable!

Hah, I just HAD to google this one (hence my arriving here), holy crap talk about ridiculous errors.
It actually *was* the missing ‘$’ too, lol.

Yes – I’ve found lots of sites that explain what it means… but none that say “fix the $s”, which was what I needed.
Thanks, Mary!
