Symbol "->"

[zanfranceschi]

I know it's a very simple question, but I couldn't find its answer in the PHP documentation. Search engines seem not to understand this string search...Could some one please explain what this symbol does? Or link me to a tutorial or something like this?The only thing I use this for is to retreive data from a dabatabe, for example:

$query = "SELECT * FROM table";$exe = mysql_query($query);while($rows = mysql_fetch_object($exe)) {$id = $rows -> id;$name = $rows -> name;}

Thanks.

Since you are using mysql_fetch_object that is how you have to access the "properties".Consider an object a "special array" that uses properties as it's index.So the -> takes the place of []http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/databaseobjects.htmlMaybe that article will help.
