operator

[vexhawk]

i'm kind of new to php, what does the operator -> mean, for example:

function Session(){
$this->time = time();
$this->startSession() ;
}


Thanks for the help.

In short "$this->xyz" is is a reference to a calling object in Object Oriented Programming (OOP).

But you'd better look and learn by reading the documentaiton about OOP. There are a zillion tutorials on OOP, but a good start is the PHP documentation itself.

See link http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php

here is the example fror object initilization

Object Initialization
To initialize an object, you use the new statement to instantiate the object to a variable.


<?php
class foo
{
function do_foo()
{
echo "Doing foo.";
}
}

$bar = new foo;
$bar->do_foo();
?>
