What Does -> mean in PHP

I am trying to create a login form and I keep running into this code... $result = $connection->query($sql); if ($result->num_rows > 0) { while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { $_SESSION['username'] = $row["username"]; echo "wrong password"; } echo $_SESSION['username']; } else { header("Location: home.html"); } I have no idea what it means so can someone break it down for me

That symbol means you're calling a function inside of an object. For example, in the line "$connection->query($sql)" you're calling the function query from the object $connection.
