Greater or equal to.

Code: Select all

$a = $b = 10;

if($a >=$b)
  echo "A is either greater or equal to B";

I've always used >=. Didn't realise => worked.

Here is an example of its use

Code: Select all

static $areas = array( 
		'reviews' => 'Restaurant Reviews' 
	);
Must be something to do with arrays...???
