Study Notes
OOP Concepts
- OOP considers everything in the world as an object, which is an entity that holds its own properties (data) via variables and behaviors (functions) via methods.
Classes & Objects
- A class is a blueprint/template used to hold objects along with their behavior and properties.
- An object is an instance/occurrence of a class.
- A class can have properties (e.g. make, color, year, speed limit) and behaviors (functions).
- Objects inherit all properties and behaviors from the class, but each object will have different values for the properties.
Defining a PHP Class
- A class is defined using the
class
keyword, followed by the name of the class and a pair of curly braces{}
. - Class name should start with a letter, cannot be a PHP reserved word, and cannot contain spaces.
- Properties and methods are defined inside the curly braces.
Adding Properties & Methods to a Class
- Properties are added to a class by placing variables inside it.
- Methods are defined using the
function
keyword before the name of the function. - Properties and methods can have one of three visibility modifiers:
public
,private
, andprotected
.
