Php Class And Object Tutorial
A class is a blueprint or in other words it's a set of functions (methods) and variables (properties). Classes in PHP make the programming easy. The use of Classes in PHP makes it an Object Oriented Programming Language.
To make a simple class in PHP we need to use a keyword class. In the body of class, we can write it's code. A simple syntax of PHP class is
class className
{
//code of Class
}
PHP Class Object
As mentioned before a class is just a blueprint or plan, hence it can not work on it's own. To make a class work it must be instatiated, this is done by creating an instance (object) of class. A general syntax of Creating an object of class is
$object_name = new className();
To create an object of class the new construct is used, new will create a new instance of class. Lets have a look at another example of how to create a Class in PHP and then instantiate it by creating an object.
<?php
//class declearation
class vehicle
{
//class code here
}
//class object
$object = new vehicle();
?>
