Object Oriented Programming

PHP is an object- oriented programming language.

What is object-oriented programming (OOP)?

Object-oriented programming(OOP) is a programming language using objects usually instances of a class, consisting of data fields and methods together with their interactions to design applications and computer programs.

Main features of OOP are as below:

 Class and object:
    A class is a group of objects and an object is an instance of a class. It contains the code for properties and methods.


Encapsulation:
    Encapsulation is the ability of an object to protect the data (properties) of a class from outside influences. You can use a class (its properties) through an object instance, without having access to its code.

Inheritance:
    Inheritance is the ability of a class to copy or inherit the properties and methods of a parent class.

Polymorphism:
    Polymorphism is a class ability to do more different things, or use one class or another to achieve the same thing, having similar functions.

Closing connection The connection will be closed automatically when the script ends. To close the connection before, use the mysql_close() function: <?php $con = mysql_conne...

Type Juggling and Type Casting

Type Juggling: PHP does not require (or support) explicit type definition in variable declaration; a variable's type is determined by the context in which the variable is used. That is to say, if a string value is assigned to variable $var, $var becomes a string. If an integer value is then assigned to $var, it becomes an integer.

Doctype Defination

A Document Type Declaration, or DOCTYPE, is an instruction that associates a particular SGML or XML document (for example, a webpage) with a Document Type Definition (DTD). Syntax The general syntax for a document type declaration is: <!DOCTYPE root-element PUBLIC "FPI" ["URI"] [ <!-- internal subset declarations --> ]>
