class RSSitem
{
  var $dblink;
  var $success = false;
  var $items;
  var $currentItem;

  function RSSitem($pDBname, $pUsername, $pPassword)
  {
    $this->$dblink = mysql_connect("localhost:3306",$pUsername, $pPassword);

    if (mysql_select_db($pDBname, $this->$dblink))
    {
        $query = "select id " .
                 "     , title " .
                 "     , description " .
                 "     , guid " .
                 "     , link " .
                 "     , pubDate " .
                 "from item " .
                 "order by id desc";

        $this->$items = mysql_query($query, $this->$dblink);
        if ($this->$items) 
        {
            $this->$currentItem = mysql_fetch_assoc($this->$items);
            if ($this->$currentItem)
            {
                $this->success = true;
                //print_r($this->$currentItem);
            }
        }
     }
  }

  function title()
  {
    $value = $this->$currentItem["title"];
    return $value;
  }
}

When an object of class RSSitem is made, and the function object.title() is called, it returns the entire array $this->$currentItem, instead of entry ["title"] of this array.
When I rewrite the function thus:
  function title()
  {
    $temparray = $this->$currentItem;
    $value = $temparray["title"];
    return $value;
  }
it does work.
