Cakephp Html Helper Structure

Question

Recently I have shifted from PHP OOPS to CakePHP. I am bit confused with the cakephp Html Helper structure.

Example:

  $this -> Html -> css();

In the above code, What does Html represents? Is it an object or variable, what class and object structure does cakephp maintains and how does it work?

I researched a lot but could not figure out the cakephp class/object structure. Please help!

1. $this - Refer to Current Class means View Class ( http://api.cakephp.org/2.4/package-Cake.View.html )

2. Html - Refer to HtmlHelper Class, This is done via HelperCollection Class, See the load Method ( http://api.cakephp.org/2.5/class-HelperCollection.html#_load )

3. css() - Refer to method css() from HtmlHelper Class
