Classes are the blueprint of objects. Classes hold their own data members and member functions, which can be accessed and used by creating an instance of that class. In PHP, a class is defined using the class keyword, followed by the name of the class and curly braces ({}).
Example:
<?php
class class_name {
// code goes here...
}
?>
We will create a class Employee where we will have two properties and two methods for setting and getting the property.
<?php
class Employee {
// Properties
public $name;
public $surname;
// Methods
function set_name($name) {
$this->name = $name;
}
function get_name() {
return $this->name;
}
}
?>
