[Resolved] Dumb Code Question?

[kenhess]

I have begun to see the following in some php code and am wondering where I can find documentation on this.

$a->set_Links(3);

$limit1 = $a->getRange1()

What the heck are the arrows for or what do they mean?

Sorry that this may be dumb question, but none of my php books have anything like this in them.

thanks,

ken

That's object-oriented programming (OOP for short). It's discussed here in the manual.

Dig in, it's an interesting subject, and quite useful, especially when working with a template system (object handles the work, template handles the display, your script mediates between the two).
