RE: [php-49] Another OOP question - in-class variable scope in a static "object" - You need to instantiate the object to use call member variables since variables are related to the object and not the class.

Re: [php-49] Business Cards - A late reply, but a bit of a warning about using PNGs. While the png format technically supports a dpi property, most apps that work with pngs ignore it for some reason, so you might run into some difficulty with your printing company.
