In PHP, the => symbol is used as an association operator and is primarily used to assign values to keys in an associative array .

For example, consider the following code:


$person = array(
    'name' => 'John',
    'age' => 30,
    'gender' => 'male'
);

In this code, the => operator is used to associate the keys (name, age, and gender) with their respective values (John, 30, and male). The resulting array is an associative array with key-value pairs.

Note that the => operator is not used for comparison or logical operations in PHP . Its primary use is for associating keys with values in an associative array.
