"->" notation in PHP

smcelhinney · 2007-10-18 14:14:54

I will succumb eventually to PHP, but Im just trying to understand a small piece of code for now. What does "->" mean, or better still, is there equivalent notation in Java? Thanks

I'm not a PHP guy really but the language supports OO design from the looks of it and the -> operator refers to data items stored in an object.

The equivilant in java is '.' as in myObject.SomeFunction()
