i really don't know whats going on with this bit of code. can someone give me detailed information on whats going on? even a few key words to search for so that i can look up some tutorials? at first i thought they were arrays but then when i looked up arrays i realized that this is not the case. anyone?

$this->registry =& $registry;
$this->userinfo = $userinfo;

Object Oriented PHP is what you are looking at. But, that's as far as my 'detailed information' goes, sorry.

$this refers to the object that code is called in.
=& means assign by reference.
$this->registry and $this->userinfo are properties of the project, and in this case, values are being assigned to them.

Those bolded keywords should bring up some material for you to trawl through.
