first of all i have seen this symbol '->' in some codes i looked at including some php frameworks
Ex: $var->$user;

and i'm not sure what its really used for and i i'm not sure what this symbol or method in php is called so i can't search about it!!!


and another thing is classes. what are they used for. and how do you call a class????

or if you can point me to a tutorial on these subjects or something.

thanks for any reply!!!

-> points to an element of the object. That element can be a variable or a method (function). Example:

$object_name->something = "My example";
would set the variable "something" of the object: $object_name to the text "My example".

$object_name->save_data($something);
sends the value of $something to a function/method of $ojbect_name called save_data, which then processes it.
