As Aral says, syntax is syntax. The PHP syntax borrows heavily from C++ which uses -> and :: notations with objects and classes respectively. It's not so much reinventing the wheel as just being influenced by a different third generation language. I'm a bit of a language geek, and I love the fact that each has its quirks. That is, with the the possible exception of Python's use of indentation to denote code blocks. Grrr!
