Using Classes / OOP in PHP
- by Alex Demchak
I'm pretty proficient with PHP, outside of OOP - which I am just now starting to jump in to.
I've been watching videos and reading tutorials, but they are all still pretty confusing...
If I have
FILE 1 (class.time.php)
class Time {
function GetTime(){
$time = date('H:i:s');
printf($time);
}
}
and then in a nother php page I've got
FILE 2 (page.php)
I can do
include('class.time.php');
and then anywhere in this page I can then do
$time = new Time; //Calling the class and setting the class to a variable
$time->GetTime(); //This is BASICALLY saying (run the 'GetTime' function in the 'Time Class'
My main question is, is the comment above (This is BASICALLY saying.....) correct? or is there a better way to think of it?
