> = .. PHP Laravel后的运算符

Just came by this code in Laravel Paginator.php today

$this->hasMore = $this->items->count() > $this->perPage;

I'm familiar with -> and > but not sure how this bigger than fits after an = . this is the full function :

protected function setItems($items)
{
    $this->items = $items instanceof Collection ? $items : Collection::make($items);

    $this->hasMore = $this->items->count() > $this->perPage;

    $this->items = $this->items->slice(0, $this->perPage);
}

The right side is evaluated and the result is assigned to the left. This of it this way:

$a = ($b > $c);

Where this evaluates to a boolean:

($b > $c)

Alternatively:

$a = ($b > $c) ? true : false;

Or:

if ($b > $c) {
    $a = true;
} else {
    $a = false;
}
