Topic to be Covered
• Accessing properties and methods

4
Accessing properties and methods

• Class member variables are called properties. Sometimes they are referred as attributes
or fields.
• The properties hold specific data and related with the class in which it has been defined.
• Declaring a property in a class is an easy task, use one of the keyword public, protected,
or private followed by a normal variable declaration. If declared using var (compatibility
with PHP 4), the property will be defined as public.

• public : The property can be accessed from outside the class, either by the script or from another
class
• private : No access is granted from outside the class, either by the script or from another class.
• protected : No access is granted from outside the class except a class that’s a child of the class
with the protected property or method.

5
Example:-

After an object is instantiated, you can access the property of a class using
the object and -> operator. Any member declared with keyword "private" or "protected"
cannot be accessed outside the method of the class.

<?php
class Myclass
{
public $font_size =10;
}
$f = new MyClass;
echo $f->font_size; 6
Accessing Methods
• The functions which are declared in a class are called methods.
• A class method is exactly similar to PHP functions.
• Declaring a method in a class is an easy task, use one of the keyword public, protected, or private followed
by a method name.

• public : The method can be accessed from outside the class.


• private : No access is granted from outside the class.
• protected : No access is granted from outside the class except a class that’s a child of the class with the
protected property or method.
• A valid method name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or
underscores.
• The method body enclosed within a pair of braces which contains codes. The opening curly brace ( { )
indicates the beginning of the method code and the closing curly ( } ) brace indicates the termination of the
method.
• If the method is not defined by public, protected, or private then default is public.
• Can access properties and methods of the current instance using $this (Format $this->property) for non
static property. 7
Example
<?php

//Declare the class


class Product
{
//Declare properties
public $name ="HP Pavillion";
public $type = "Laptop";
public $price = 1200;

//Declare method to print the properties


public function details()
{
echo "Name :".$this->name."<br />"."Type :".$this->type."<br />"."Price :$".$this->price."<br />";
}
}
//Declare the object

$object = new Product();


//Call the method
echo $object->details();
?>

Access Specifiers

• Public: Public properties can be accessed by any code, whether that


code is inside or outside the class. If a property is declared public, its
value can be read or changed from anywhere in your script.
• Private: Private properties of a class can be accessed only by code
inside the class. So if we create a property that’s declared private, only
methods and objects inside the same class can access its contents.
• Protected: Protected class properties are a bit like private properties in
that they can’t be accessed by code outside the class, but there’s one
little difference in any class that inherits from the class i.e. base class
can also access the properties.
