[RESOLVED] What is ' -> ' ?

[kansaschuck]

maybe this is a easy one.

$this->server            =    $strConnect;

is that just a standard value assignment .....meaning that $this->server is just a name.....

of is the -> an operation of some kind and the writter of this code is just more artistic than I've normally seen?

thanks,
->kc
