   I'm not sure if I have done this correctly.

   As I understand it:

   if I have a class foo and a static method bar I can register that as the callback by passing the array array("foo","bar") as the function name.

   If I have an instance of a class in $foo and want to call the method bar I pass the array array($foo,'bar').

   If I need to register an action inside the class itself would it work with array($this,'bar')?

   I've taken a look at the source - WordPress doesn't do anything special with the variable. It just calls 'call_user_func_array' with the function name as a parameter.

   So basically I now need a way of getting the variable that the instance has been assigned to from within the class like:

   class bob()
   {
        public function getInstance()
        {
               return object name//THIS IS WHAT I DON'T KNOW
        }
   
   }
   
   $gary = new bob();
   
   $gary->getInstance();//returns 'gary'

   I was correct. You can pass $this as a parameter.
