In the previous exercise, we asked you to imagine a class for pets. Let’s see how we would actually create a PHP Pet
class.
To define a Pet
class, we use the class
keyword followed by the class name (typically title cased in PHP) and curly brackets:
class Pet { }
Within the curly brackets, we can add properties, which define the data each object of the class will contain. The syntax is similar to how we define variables:
class Pet { public $name, $color; }
Note: The public
keyword has to do with something called visibility. We’ll discuss this in depth later in the lesson.
