would you like to know PHP OOP? If you want to learn how to write cleaner code and reusable codes to be used for multiple projects. then OOP is a must learn for you. It simplies the php programming and helps you write reusable codes.

i would like to know those interested so as to know people are interested to learn.

indicate if interested.

I am interested

I'm very interested.

CLASS 1:

Object Oriented Programming is a programming technique that helps in writing reusable codes and cleaner codes.
What is an object? When a class is instantiated, an object is formed.
Let's relate with our environment to as to drive down the meaning of an object and a class.

Houses:

Before a house is built, there is a blueprint that shows the plan of the house, what it will contain, the rooms, the ways the house will function and the variables used in forming the house like cement and the rest, variables.

Though this is not the house(object) but a blueprint of how the house will look( a class).

From the illustration above, we know understand what it meant when its said that when a class is instantiated, we get the object of the class.

A class is like a blueprint for a house which is not real, the house built as a result of the blueprint (class) is the house (object),

It may be confusing at first, just follow along.

Let's start the coding so we understand more,

To create a class, use the keyword "class",

<?php

Class nairaland {

Function __construct (){

echo "hello, this is my first OOP class";

}

}

Now you have created your first class in PHP OOP.

Now, instantiate the class to get the object, and we do so below using the keyword "new" and the class name, so: we have,

new nairaland;

Let's store it in a variable, so we have

$firstclass= new nairaland;

the call the constructor function that runs always whenever a class is instatiated.

Do it like this:

echo $firstclass;

If done alright and all steps followed, you should have "hello, this is my first OOP class"

echoed out.

To understand that we are truly dealing with an object, do this test,

$var_dump($firstclass);

Or print_r($firstclass);

Okay, that's introduction,

Drop any question.
