   So ... I just don't understand what's happening here.

   I'm written a class for my plugin, and register_deactivation_hook works, but register_activation_hook doesn't.

   class Foo{
      function Foo(){
         register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array( &this, "initializeFoo" );
         register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, array( &this, "killFoo" );
      }
   
      function initializeFoo(){
         add_option( "foo_start", 1 );
      }
   
      function killFoo(){
         add_option( "foo_die", 1 );
      }
   }
   
   add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'loadThePlugin' );
   
   function loadThePlugin(){
   	global $Foo;
   	$Foo = new Foo();
   }

   When I activate the plugin, register_activation_hook appears not to fire, but when I deactivate it, register_deactivation_hook does. (The option appears in the database for foo_die, but not foo_start.)

   Help?

   Typo: I correctly have a $ in front of the this object.

   &$this is how I have it in the plugin; still doesn't work

   Mine either. I wish someone could answer these questions about register_activation_hook so this wont be such a big issue.

   activation hook is fired before plugins_loaded... code is poetry...
