Hi Alan,

If I remember my Java (from uni), This php code:

$claim->value

is analogous to Java:

claim.value



Another example could be :

$claim->functionName()



Can I assume that in this example that -> just returns me a member of the
class - in this case "value" is a member of the class using the handle
"claim"?

Yup :)
