Method ::`->=()

Method `->=

mixed `->=(string index, mixed value, object|void context, int|void access)

Description

Builtin atomic arrow get and set operator.

Parameter index

Symbol in context to change the value of.

Parameter value

The new value.

Parameter context

Context in the current object to start the search from. If UNDEFINED or left out, this_program::this will be used (ie start at the current context and ignore any overloaded symbols).

Parameter access

Access permission override. One of the following:

0	See only public symbols.
UNDEFINED
1	See protected symbols as well.

This function indexes the current object with the string index, and sets it to value. This is useful when the arrow set operator has been overloaded.

Returns

Returns the previous value at index index of the current object.
