The following code works fine here.

<?php

class MyClass {
   private $delimiter = ';';

   public function myfunc() {
     $str = 'abd;def;ghi';
     echo $this->delimiter . "\n";
     $arr = explode($this->delimiter, $str);
     echo $this->delimiter . "\n";
   }
}

$mc = new MyClass();
$mc->myfunc();
?>

$this in the explode() function means the same thing it does anywhere 
else - it is referencing the object the function is a member of.  In 
this case it says you want the $delimiter member of the object (instead 
of some other $delimiter variable).

I suspect your problem is somewhere else.
