passing argument through reference (&$) and by $ is that when you pass argument through reference you work on original variable, means if you change it inside your function it's going to be changed outside of it as well, if you pass argument as a copy, function creates copy instance of this variable, and work on this ...
This is called the Object Operator. It is used to access properties and methods inside a class, where you put the -> symbol after.
It suppresses error messages — see Error Control Operators in the PHP manual.
