这在php中叫什么： - > [复制]

Question

Possible Duplicates:
what is the official name of C++'s arrow (->) operator?
In, PHP, what is the “->” operator called and how do you say it when reading code out loud?

I use it all the time, it's impossible to search for. What is the technical name for it?

like $object->property

UPDATE: I see now that someone asked this question before, but when you search for something like "php ->" you don't get good results.

Answer 1

Simply enough, it's called the arrow operator

ETA:

As others have mentioned, the documentation also calls this token the "object operator". So, the docs aren't entirely self consistent, which I suppose is true of any real world documentation.
