-> is for classes / objects...
It points to a variable in the object class (this case $path) or
a function like $d->setColor("green");

OOP is hella cool when you "get it". But it can also be overkill for many
things too. Basically I think of it this way, if I need to store 'records'
like with a database, but don't need a database per se, OOP is perfect. For
a great example, I would refer you to my simple DHCP web page project:
http://daevid.com/examples/dhcp/ you can download the .tgz file at the
bottom and see how it's structured.
