OOPs Possible in PHP

Now, in the computer programming world, object-oriented programming (OOP) has rapidly taken hold as the programming methodology of choice for the enterprise. The basic concept is encapsulation - the grouping of data and code elements that shar common traits inside a container known as class.


A class contains the definition of data elements (or properties) and functions (or methods) that share some commont trait and can be encapsulated in a single structure. A class is declared using the class structure:

// class keyword is followed by name of class: vehicle

class vehicle

{

// Data property

var $type;

// a method, if same name as the class, it as the class constructor. Automatically called whenever class is instantiated

// have paramater $type

function vehicle( $type )

{

$this->type = $type;

}

}
