Is the '.' operator the same as '->' in PHP?

As above, work seems to use '->' all the time (I'm new to PHP). Is this the same as a '.' in Java?

yes,

-> is the same as the '.'(dot) operator in java
as in
Java: object.method(params) or object.attribute
is
PHP: object->method(params) or object->attribute

also '.' is the concatenation operator in PHP not '+' like in many other languages.
