Where do we use the object operator "->" in PHP?

Question

What are the different ways where we can use object operators -> in PHP?

Answer 1

PHP has two object operators.

The first, ->, is used when you want to call a method on an instance or access an instance property.

The second, ::, is used when you want to call a static method, access a static variable, or call a parent class's version of a method within a child class.
