PHP Classes
and
Object Orientation
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Reminder… a function
• Reusable piece of code.
• Has its own ‘local scope’.
function my_func($arg1,$arg2) {
<< function statements >>
}
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Conceptually, what does a
function represent?
…give the function something (arguments), it does
something with them, and then returns a result…
Action or Method
PHP Workshop ‹#›
What is a class?
Conceptually, a class represents an
object, with associated methods
and variables
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Definition
<?php
class dog {
public $name;
public function bark() {
echo ‘Woof!’;
}
}
?>
An example class
definition for a dog.
The dog object has a
single attribute, the
name, and can
perform the action of
barking.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Definition
<?php
class dog {
public $name;
public function bark() {
echo ‘Woof!’;
}
}
?>
class dog {
Define the name
of the class.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Definition
<?php
class dog {
var $name
public function bark() {
echo ‘Woof!’;
}
}
?>
public $name;
Define an object
attribute (variable),
the dog’s name.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Definition
<?php
class dog {
public $name;
function bark() {
echo ‘Woof!’;
}
}
?>
public function bark() {
echo ‘Woof!’;
}
Define an
object action
(function), the
dog’s bark.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Definition
<?php
class dog {
public $name;
public function bark() {
echo ‘Woof!’;
}
}
?>
}
End the class
definition
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Defintion
Similar to defining a function..
The definition does not do anything by
itself. It is a blueprint, or description, of an
object. To do something, you need to use
the class…
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Usage
<?php
require(‘dog.class.php’);
$puppy = new dog();
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
$puppy->bark();
?>
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Usage
<?php
require(‘dog.class.php’);
$puppy = new dog();
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
$puppy->bark();
?>
require(‘dog.class.php’);
Include the class
definition
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Usage
<?php
require(‘dog.class.php’);
$puppy = new dog();
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
$puppy->bark();
?>
$puppy = new dog();
Create a new
instance of the
class.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Usage
<?php
require(‘dog.class.php’);
$puppy = new dog();
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
$puppy->bark();
?>
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
Set the name
variable of this
instance to
‘Rover’.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Usage
<?php
require(‘dog.class.php’);
$puppy = new dog();
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
$puppy->bark();
?>
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
Use the name
variable of this
instance in an
echo statement..
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Usage
<?php
require(‘dog.class.php’);
$puppy = new dog();
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
$puppy->bark();
?>
$puppy->bark();
Use the dog
object bark
method.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Usage
<?php
require(‘dog.class.php’);
$puppy = new dog();
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
echo “{$puppy->name} says ”;
$puppy->bark();
?>
[example file: classes1.php]
PHP Workshop ‹#›
One dollar and one only…
$puppy->name = ‘Rover’;
The most common mistake is to use more
than one dollar sign when accessing
variables. The following means something
entirely different..
$puppy->$name = ‘Rover’;
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Using attributes within the class..
• If you need to use the class variables
within any class actions, use the special
variable $this in the definition:
class dog {
public $name;
public function bark() {
echo $this->name.‘ says Woof!’;
}
}
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Constructor methods
• A constructor method is a function that is
automatically executed when the class is
first instantiated.
• Create a constructor by including a
function within the class definition with the
__construct name.
• Remember.. if the constructor requires
arguments, they must be passed when it is
instantiated!
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Constructor Example
<?php
class dog {
public $name;
public function __construct($nametext) {
$this->name = $nametext;
}
public function bark() {
echo ‘Woof!’;
}
}
?>
Constructor function
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Constructor Example
<?php
…
$puppy = new dog(‘Rover’);
…
?> Constructor arguments
are passed during the
instantiation of the object.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Class Scope
• Like functions, each instantiated object
has its own local scope.
e.g. if 2 different dog objects are
instantiated, $puppy1 and $puppy2, the
two dog names $puppy1->name and
$puppy2->name are entirely
independent..
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Inheritance
• The real power of using classes is the
property of inheritance – creating a
hierarchy of interlinked classes.
dog
poodle alsatian
parent
children
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Inheritance
• The child classes ‘inherit’ all the methods
and variables of the parent class, and can
add extra ones of their own.
e.g. the child classes poodle inherits the
variable ‘name’ and method ‘bark’ from the
dog class, and can add extra ones…
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Inheritance example
The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes three sizes of poodle - Standard,
Miniature, and Toy…
class poodle extends dog {
public $type;
public function set_type($height) {
if ($height<10) {
$this->type = ‘Toy’;
} elseif ($height>15) {
$this->type = ‘Standard’;
} else {
$this->type = ‘Miniature’;
}
}
}
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Inheritance example
The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes three sizes of poodle - Standard,
Miniature, and Toy…
class poodle extends dog {
public $type
public function set_type($height) {
if ($height<10) {
$this->type = ‘Toy’;
} elseif ($height>15) {
$this->type = ‘Standard’;
} else {
$this->type = ‘Miniature’;
}
}
}
class poodle extends dog {
Note the use of the
extends keyword to
indicate that the
poodle class is a child
of the dog class…
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Inheritance example
…
$puppy = new poodle(‘Oscar’);
$puppy->set_type(12); // 12 inches high!
echo “Poodle is called {$puppy->name}, ”;
echo “of type {$puppy->type}, saying “;
echo $puppy->bark();
…
PHP Workshop ‹#›
…a poodle will always ‘Yip!’
• It is possible to over-ride a parent method with a new
method if it is given the same name in the child class..
class poodle extends dog {
…
public function bark() {
echo ‘Yip!’;
}
…
}
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Child Constructors?
• If the child class possesses a constructor
function, it is executed and any parent
constructor is ignored.
• If the child class does not have a constructor, the
parent’s constructor is executed.
• If the child and parent does not have a
constructor, the grandparent constructor is
attempted…
• … etc.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Objects within Objects
• It is perfectly possible to include objects within another
object..
class dogtag {
public $words;
}
class dog {
public $name;
public $tag;
public function bark() {
echo "Woof!n";
}
}
…
$puppy = new dog;
$puppy->name = “Rover";
$poppy->tag = new dogtag;
$poppy->tag->words = “blah”;
…
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Deleting objects
• So far our objects have not been
destroyed till the end of our scripts..
• Like variables, it is possible to explicitly
destroy an object using the unset()
function.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
A copy, or not a copy..
• Entire objects can be passed as
arguments to functions, and can use all
methods/variables within the function.
• Remember however.. like functions the
object is COPIED when passed as an
argument unless you specify the argument
as a reference variable &$variable
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Why Object Orientate?
Reason 1
Once you have your head round the concept of
objects, intuitively named object orientated code
becomes easy to understand.
e.g.
$order->display_basket();
$user->card[2]->pay($order);
$order->display_status();
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Why Object Orientate?
Reason 2
Existing code becomes easier to maintain.
e.g. If you want to extend the capability of a
piece of code, you can merely edit the
class definitions…
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Why Object Orientate?
Reason 3
New code becomes much quicker to write
once you have a suitable class library.
e.g. Need a new object..? Usually can
extend an existing object. A lot of high
quality code is distributed as classes (e.g.
http://pear.php.net).
PHP Workshop ‹#›
There is a lot more…
• We have really only touched the edge of
object orientated programming…
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php
• … but I don’t want to confuse you too
much!
PHP Workshop ‹#›
PHP4 vs. PHP5
• OOP purists will tell you that the object
support in PHP4 is sketchy. They are right,
in that a lot of features are missing.
• PHP5 OOP system has had a big redesign
and is much better.
…but it is worth it to produce OOP
code in either PHP4 or PHP5…
PHP Workshop ‹#›
PHP Data Object (PDO)
PHP Workshop ‹#›
What is PDO?
• PDO is a PHP extension to formalise
PHP's database connections by creating a
uniform interface. This allows developers
to create code which is portable across
many databases and platforms.
• PDO is not just another abstraction layer
like PEAR DB or ADOdb.
PHP Workshop ‹#›
Why use PDO?
• Portability
• Performance
• Power
• Easy
• Runtime Extensible
PHP Workshop ‹#›
What databases does it support?
• Microsoft SQL Server / Sybase
• Firebird / Interbase
• DB2 / INFORMIX (IBM)
• MySQL
• OCI (Oracle Call Interface)
• ODBC
• PostgreSQL
• SQLite
PHP Workshop ‹#›
DSNs
• In general
drivername:<driver-specific-stuff>
• mysql:host=name;dbname=dbname
• odbc:odbc_dsn
• oci:dbname=dbname;charset=charset
• sqlite:/path/to/db/file
• sqlite::memory:

  • 36. PHP Workshop ‹#› Why Object Orientate? Reason 3 New code becomes much quicker to write once you have a suitable class library. e.g. Need a new object..? Usually can extend an existing object. A lot of high quality code is distributed as classes (e.g. http://pear.php.net).
  • 37. PHP Workshop ‹#› There is a lot more… • We have really only touched the edge of object orientated programming… http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php • … but I don’t want to confuse you too much!
  • 38. PHP Workshop ‹#› PHP4 vs. PHP5 • OOP purists will tell you that the object support in PHP4 is sketchy. They are right, in that a lot of features are missing. • PHP5 OOP system has had a big redesign and is much better. …but it is worth it to produce OOP code in either PHP4 or PHP5…
  • 39. PHP Workshop ‹#› PHP Data Object (PDO)
  • 40. PHP Workshop ‹#› What is PDO? • PDO is a PHP extension to formalise PHP's database connections by creating a uniform interface. This allows developers to create code which is portable across many databases and platforms. • PDO is not just another abstraction layer like PEAR DB or ADOdb.
  • 41. PHP Workshop ‹#› Why use PDO? • Portability • Performance • Power • Easy • Runtime Extensible
  • 42. PHP Workshop ‹#› What databases does it support? • Microsoft SQL Server / Sybase • Firebird / Interbase • DB2 / INFORMIX (IBM) • MySQL • OCI (Oracle Call Interface) • ODBC • PostgreSQL • SQLite
  • 43. PHP Workshop ‹#› DSNs • In general drivername:<driver-specific-stuff> • mysql:host=name;dbname=dbname • odbc:odbc_dsn • oci:dbname=dbname;charset=charset • sqlite:/path/to/db/file • sqlite::memory:
  • 45. PHP Workshop ‹#› Connect to SQLite (file)
  • 46. PHP Workshop ‹#› Connect to SQLite (memory)
  • 49. PHP Workshop ‹#› Close a Database Connection
  • 50. PHP Workshop ‹#› Persistent PDO Connection • Connection stays alive between requests $dbh = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass, array( PDO_ATTR_PERSISTENT => true ) );
