I'm one of the ignorant multitude beginning to grope their way across the threshhold 
of web programming. I come from another world, not computer science, and thus have a 
question so basic I haven't found any reference to it anywhere. It's killing me.

In the php statement
$q->qzml();
what is the symbol '->' called? What does it mean?

A php script with this line in it, in which $q is an object and qzml() is a function, 
returns the error message "undefined function". When I remove this line, the function 
qzml() is recognized.

I have also come across the symbol '=>'. I assume it is not the same symbol. What is 
it, and what does it mean?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Paul
