need an explanation

[Stylewriter]

what is this for:
1. ->
2. =>
what can i do with these syntax...

i am sorry about this stupid question...

[Stylewriter]

in a script it is used like this:
$template -> assign_block_vars("avatar_row", array());

OR like this:

$template->assign_block_vars('avatar_row.avatar_option_column', array(
"S_OPTIONS_AVATAR" => $avatar_images[$category][$i][$j])
);

[phpman]

answering your own question?

the -> is used when you are accessing classes and this is the way to assign a variable to the calss or something.

=> assigns variables to an array or another variable.

$array = array (1=>"first value");
foreach($array AS $index => $value){

}

now see the value "first value" in teh array is assigned to 1, and in the foreach $index = 1 and $value = "first value"

get it?
