the line

echo($cartweaver->cartLinks());

<?php
if($_SESSION["cartSubtotal"] < 25) {
echo("You must order $25 or more. Go back to correct.");
echo($cartweaver->cartLinks());
exit();
}?>

It basically means that $cartweaver is an instantiated object of a class. That class contains a function called cartLinks(). So the output from the cartLinks() function is being sent to the browser to be displayed.
