Method ::`->()

Method `->

mixed `->(string index, object|void context, int|void access)

Description

Builtin arrow operator.

Parameter index

Symbol in context to access.

Parameter context

Context in the current object to start the search from. If UNDEFINED or left out, this_program::this will be used (ie start at the current context and ignore any overloaded symbols).

Parameter access

Access permission override. One of the following:

0	See only public symbols.
UNDEFINED
1	See protected symbols as well.

This function indexes the current object with the string index. This is useful when the arrow operator has been overloaded.
