[SOLVED] New to PHP, got a question about 'sign'

$db =DB::connect($datasource)

if (DB::isError($db)) {

  die($db->getMessage());

}

 

That was the code for connection to database.

There are signs on first line and third line ('::' and '->'), what is that means and what you call that sign?

 

many thanks in advanced!!

The :: lets you call a static method from within a class without having to instantiate an object first. The second -> lets you call an objects method.

 

Assuming you are also new to OOP then alot of what I just said may or may not have gone straight over your head. For more info on classes and objects, take a look at this section of the manual.
