I'm a wanna-be programmer, in other words i wanna be one :P But, i haven't taken any classes or anything on anything, i've tried all the books i can find and none of them really help. (proggramming for me is a more handson type of thing) RPG maker was the only thing i could learn.

I'm a self-taught programmer. If you wanted to, you could be too. By the way, if you're poor, "free" E-books are a valid way to go. Just be sure to read them and delete the books later once you understand what you're doing.

And thanks, I'm just glad i understand em enough to actually be able to explain

You're welcome. You explained them as well as anyone could have. Variables are just variables, they have no defined value until given one. Then when you no longer need that value, then you can reuse the variable to define it if you want.

PHP Code:


			
class programmer {
 function find_lie($user) {
  $user = $this->detect($user);
 }
 function detect($user) {
  // This function has a hidden value :D
  // Could I have used this function alone?
  // Yes, but I felt like adding in more to
  // seem special and smart.
 }
}
$programmer = new programmer(true);
$Wolfturn = $programmer->find_lie($Wolfturn);
if ($Wolfturn == "lie") {
 echo("You're no programmer!");
}
elseif ($Wolfturn == "truth") {
 echo("I'm glad to see you at least know something.");
}
else {
 echo("Oh, dear lord, Regular Expressions are hard!");
}

Anyways, all of this chit-chat about RPG Maker has gotten me all excited to create something no one has ever done before.

By the way flappykun, I hope all of this crud helped you.
