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

Object Oriented PHP for Beginners

For this tutorial, you should understand a few PHP basics: functions, variables, conditionals and loops. To make things easy, the tutorial is divided into 22 steps. Step 1: First thing we need to do is create two PHP pages: index.php class_lib.php OOP is all about creating modular code, so our object oriented PHP code will be contained in dedicated files that we will then insert into our normal PHP page using php ‘includes’. In this case, all our OO PHP code will be in the PHP file: class_lib.php OOP revolves around a construct called a ‘class’. Classes are the cookie-cutters / templates that are used to define objects. Step 2: Create a simple PHP class (in class_lib.php) Instead of having a bunch of functions, variables and code floating around willy-nilly, to design your php scripts or code libraries the OOP way, you’ll need to define/create your own classes. You define your own class by starting with the keyword ‘class’ followed by the name you want to g
