With the release of its fifth version PHP has become a multi paradigm language(well, mostly) providing extensive object oriented support. I have been trying my hands on some of the new oo features in PHP.
Defining a class
A class provides a blue print for objects. It is, in simple terms, much like a datatype. It contains properties and methods. Properties are the variables linked to a class and Methods are the functions.
A class is created by the following code
class Myclass
{
// properties
// methods
}
Thats it!
This class contains nothing but some comments. It wont do anything but all that is being done by us is defining the class.
