What is the name of the '->' in PHP OO
<inconsequential>
It's been (mildly) bugging me that I don't know the name of the -> when doing things like $model->method(). I keep calling it 'arrowy thing' which I would love to be true, but ... ;-)

@jlrdw I think I'm going to stick with 'arrowy thing' then - I was hoping for something more exciting ;-)

I call them pointers.
From my experience in C++.
Level 23
i dont think they are pointers.. pointers are pointing to some address in memory - whereas those are the properties/func of an object

You could say it's pointing to a method.
Way easier to say.

I say "stab" So I pronounce "$model->method()" as "dollar model stab method bananas"
