OOP was completely redesigned in PHP 5. I would suggest upgrading to the most current version so you don't have to completely relearn everything when you move to PHP 5. The object structures were redesigned to have a much more java feel to them, complete with contructors and destructors, autoload, and much more predicatable behavior. but a VERY short tutorial follows for php 5:
PHP Code:
//class file
class myClass {
__constructor myCLass() { //a constructor is executed when the class is initialized.
$this->name = "default name";
}
function setName($newName) {
$this->name = $newName; //$this is a variable that should be used
} // when calling functions or variables from
// within the class itself.
function getName() {
return $this->name;
}
__destructor killClass() {
echo "Class is being destroyed.";
}
}
//Inside your script
include("myClass.php");
$nameClass = new myClass(); //Initializes your new class.
echo $nameClass->getName(); // echos "Default Name"
$nameClass->setName("Steve"); //changes the name inside the class
echo $nameClass->getName(); // echos "Steve"
$nameClass->killClass(); //removes the class object from memory.
I should be around to help if you have any other questions. I'm in the process of learning the new PHP5 oop structure myself. luckily i have a pretty good book on the subject. |
