Didn't someone just ask this question like two days ago?

It's the array assignment/access operator, or the PHP Double Arrow operator.

De nada.

Well, I did run into a brief explanation of this operator, => on page 85 of the 4th Edition of PHP and MySQL Web Development.

 

Initializing an Array

 

The following code creates an array with product names as keys and prices as values:

 

$prices = array('Tires'=>100, 'Oil'=>10, 'Spark Plugs'=>4);

 

Here's the big explanation:

 

"The symbol between the keys and values is simply an equal sign immediately followed by a greater than symbol."

That's it? Yes, sad but true.

 

Robert, your explanation was much better. Hopefully, they'll as you to edit their 5th edition?
