The assignment operator would the just the = as in:

$a = 5;
"Variable a is assigned the integer value of five"

Almost everywhere I've seen it discussed it is simply referenced as:
"key => value" and is always typed out.

However, I guess it is sort of an assignment operator... Great now there
are 2 of them! ;)

It's not a big deal, just one of those curiosity things that starts to
annoy you late at night. That and I figured that it was about time I
asked a question here anyway...
