			$this $this: $this is the pseudo-variable that represents the current object.

$this is the pseudo-variable that represents the current object. It is also a variable, like others, and may be used to describe a dynamic property.

Since a property must be described as a string, it is possible to use the magic method __toString() to convert the object into a string, and map an existing property.
