mlara,
The operator you are referencing is to access methods and properties of PHP objects.
Take a look here for object-oriented PHP programming:

Hey, hold on a minute here...
Are you talking about '->' or '=>'? These are two different things. '=>' is used for dereferencing of keys with values in an http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php"]array[/url]. It is kind of like the '=' assignment operator, but it only works inside arrays. It is used more often to create associative arrays, because number-indexed arrays don't need an explicit dereferencer.
Examples:
1. Indexed array:
$arr = array("me", "you", "them"
;
Creates an array of 3 elements: $arr[0] is "me", $arr[1] is "you", etc...
2. Associative array:
$arr = array("me"=>"rycamor", "you"=>"mlara"
So now $arr["me"] is "rycamor", and $arr["you"] is "mlara".
It is unfortunate that this operator looks so much like the "less-than-or-equal" operator (<=). -------------------------------------------
