Class & Object in PHP
Example
Here is an example which defines a class of Books type −
php
class Books {
/* Member variables */
var $price;
var $title;
/* Member functions */
function setPrice($par){
$this->price = $par;
}
function getPrice(){
echo $this->price ."
";
}
function setTitle($par){
$this->title = $par;
}
function getTitle(){
echo $this->title ."
";
}
}
?>
The variable $this is a special variable and it refers to the same object ie. itself.
Creating Objects in PHP
Once you defined your class, then you can create as many objects as you like of that class type. Following is an example of how to create object using newoperator.
$physics = new Books; $maths = new Books; $chemistry = new Books;
Here we have created three objects and these objects are independent of each other and they will have their existence separately. Next we will see how to access member function and process member variables.
Calling Member Functions
After creating your objects, you will be able to call member functions related to that object. One member function will be able to process member variable of related object only.
Following example shows how to set title and prices for the three books by calling member functions.
$physics->setTitle( "Physics for High School" ); $chemistry->setTitle( "Advanced Chemistry" ); $maths->setTitle( "Algebra" ); $physics->setPrice( 10 ); $chemistry->setPrice( 15 ); $maths->setPrice( 7 );
Now you call another member functions to get the values set by in above example −
$physics->getTitle(); $chemistry->getTitle(); $maths->getTitle(); $physics->getPrice(); $chemistry->getPrice(); $maths->getPrice();
This will produce the following result −
Physics for High School Advanced Chemistry Algebra 10 15 7
