What is -> =>

[Discord]

I have seen a few scripts that use -> and => What are there purposes? I have coded php for a while but never used either? What do they do? I have tried searching the manual but can't seem to find a description of either.

-> is used in OOP as the delimiter between an object name and the method/member within:

$object = new MyClass;
$object->variable // a class member
$object->function() // a class method

=> is used in arrays as the delimiter between keys and values:

$array = array(
'first_name' => 'John',
'middle_name' => 'Quidley',
'last_name' => 'Public'
);
