A class serves as a blueprint for creating objects, defining properties and methods that characterize those objects. A constructor is a special method in a class that initializes an object's properties upon instantiation. The document provides examples of classes and objects in PHP, including a Car class and a Person class, demonstrating how to create objects and access their properties and methods.

Object and classes

What is a Class and object?


• a class is a blueprint for creating objects.
• It defines a set of properties and methods
that describe the characteristics and
behaviour of objects created from that class.
• An object is an instance of a class,
• it's a concrete, real-world entity created based on the class definition.
• Class is like a blueprint or template that defines the structure for objects,
• which are concrete instances of that class
Constructor
• In object-oriented programming, a constructor is a special method within
• a class that is automatically executed when an object of that class is instantiated
or created.
• Its primary purpose is to initialize the object's properties or perform any other
setup operations
• that are necessary before the object can be used.

• In PHP, the constructor method is always named __construct().


class MyClass {
// Properties
public $property1;
public $property2;

// Constructor
public function __construct($value1, $value2) {
// Initialize properties
$this->property1 = $value1;
$this->property2 = $value2;

// Additional setup code if needed


echo "Object created with values $value1 and $value2.\n";
}

// Other methods can follow


}

// Creating an object of MyClass triggers the constructor


// Define a class called 'Car'
class Car {
// Properties
public $brand;
public $model;
public $year;

// Constructor
public function __construct($brand, $model, $year) {
$this->brand = $brand;
$this->model = $model;
$this->year = $year;
}
// Method to display information about the car
public function displayInfo() {
echo "Brand: {$this->brand}, Model: {$this->model}, Year: {$this->year}\n";
}
// Creating an object (instance) of the Car class
$myCar = new Car("Toyota", "Camry", 2022);

// Accessing properties and calling methods of the object


$myCar->displayInfo(); // Display information about the car
?>
• class Person {
• // Properties
• public $name;
• public $age;
• public $gender;

• // Constructor
• public function __construct($name, $age, $gender) {
• $this->name = $name;
• $this->age = $age;
• $this->gender = $gender;
• }
public function displayInfo()
{
echo "Name: {$this->name}, Age: {$this->age}, Gender: {$this>gender}\n";
}

$person1 = new Person("John Doe", 25, "Male");

$person1->displayInfo();
• class JConfig {

• private $host = 'localhost';

• //Getter function for $host


• public function getHost() {
• return $this->host;
• {

• //Setter function for $host


• public function setHost($value) {
• $this->host = $value;
• {
• $jc = new JConfig();

• //set it
• $jc->setHost("MyHost");

• //get it
• echo $jc->getHost();
