Study Notes

Properties in PHP

  • Properties are created with an initial $ and the name of the property, which can include alphabetic characters, numbers, and the _.
  • Properties can hold many different types of data.
  • PHP determines the type of data to be stored in a property the first time data is placed in the property.
  • Properties are also called variables and include characteristics of the class.

Classes in PHP

  • Class names cannot include spaces, but the _ is permitted and commonly used to connect two words together.
  • Classes are templates for objects, and each object has all the properties and methods defined in the class, but with different property values.

Methods in PHP

  • Methods are declared using the keyword function followed by a method name and ().
  • Methods are created in a similar style as classes, except they are actually contained within the classes.
  • Method names can include lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and the _.
  • All code within a method is contained within {}.

Objects in PHP

  • Objects are created using the new keyword.
  • Multiple objects can be created from a class, each with unique property values.

$this Keyword

  • The $this keyword refers to the current Class / object, and is only available inside methods.

Constructor and Destructor

  • The __construct() function is called when an object is created, allowing initialization of an object's properties.
  • The __destruct() function is called when the object is destructed or the script is stopped or exited.
