Is this an error? - Product Type Music

[rwoody]

I'm building a new product type and I'm using the existing product_type_music as my model. (version 1.38a)

In coding all the pages, I've come down to the last couple that I needed to modify and I stumbled on something that I never noticed before. In the past I've created new product types successfully but I did not use these files as a model.

In the two files, admin/record_artist.php and admin/music_genre.php, on or around lines 93, there is what looks like an incorrect reference - $manufacturer -

 $manufacturer = $db->Execute("select artists_image
                                        from " . TABLE_RECORD_ARTISTS . "
                                        where artists_id = '" . (int)$artists_id . "'");
          $image_location = DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $manufacturer->fields['artists_image']; 

If that is correct, can someone give me a bit of a programming logic explanation. I'm definitely not a Php guru, but that loses me.

Also further down in the code there are several references to:

manufacturer_inputs_string 

, which I would have thought should have been

 record_artist_inputs_string 

or

music_genre_inputs_string 

respectively.

Could someone clarify why the reference to manufacturer is in these two files?

Thanks a bunch
