understanding a piece of syntax

[aatwo]

Hi. Could someone please tell me in english the meaning of this line?


if ($rs = $rss->get($currentLine)){

...
...
...

}

Nobody can tell you that because we do not know what the $rss object is an instance of or how the get() function was implemented.

well really I was just wondering the meaning of the "->" symbol.

It is an object hierarchy operator. In this example, it means "call the method 'get()' which is a member of object '$rss'." See www.php.net/class for more info.
