All my classes refer to $this->database to interact with the database. Is there any way to avoid having to pass it in as a parameter to a static function of a different class that needs the db?

You could use the singleton design pattern.

What's the difference between MYSQLI_USE_RESULT and MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT?

The documentation for mysqli_query doesn't explain the difference between them (and when/why one should be used over another), and most places seem to just copy from there.

php:

<?
$foo();
?>

This is a time-honored tradition. It means "call the function whose name is in foo." It actually comes in really handy in complicated code, and its use is condoned by many experienced programmers -- well, provided you handle the security correctly, anyway.

php:

<?
${"bar"}();

This works for me in PHP 5.3.
