What does this do "->"

[Anon]

Hello,

I am a php newbie trying to mod some GPL code. What does the " -> " mean. I can't find it anywhere in the manual or books.

example:

// class constructor
function usps() {
$this->code = 'usps';
$this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_TITLE;
$this->description = MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DESCRIPTION;
$this->icon = DIR_WS_ICONS . 'shipping_usps.gif';
$this->enabled = MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_STATUS;
}

Do you know about object oriented programming? The -> operator is used to access an instance's member variables and functions.

Thanks for the response. Yes I am familiar with object oriented programming. Could you point out the section of the manual that might cover this. A simple example of an object and its classes would help me alot.

Don't forget to mention it's great back-scratching and foot massage uses.

I use it to dig wax outta my ear. Very useful indeed.
