Class: Class is a way to organize the data. For instance , you want to write a program to display the names of parts of a car. What you can do is you can echo out all the part names of a car. So , now you want to display the part names of 10 cars . Now echoing out sounds little bitter, isnt it? here is where object oriented concepts comes in to play. To solve the problem, we use the class concept. here int this [tutorial](https://scriptcrunch.com/tag/tutorials/) i have created a class called coder, which contains the coders details. So we create a class template called coder. Then we create many instances of the coder class to display the details of various other coders.
Class systax:
Object: Object is an instance of the class. class is like a template and we can create many copies of the class using the object.
Object Syntax:
Example:
name =$a;
$this->language =$b; *//$this keyword assigns the parameter value to the variables declared as public.*
$this->position =$c;
}
function thisTest($a)
{
$this->name = $a; *//$this keyword here assigns the parameter to the variable name associated with function thisTest.*
*}*
}

OOP demo
This ia a php object oriented demo
showDetails("michael","php","junior programmer"); //using the person object , here we pass the parameters to the showDetails fucntion.
echo "".$person1->name." ".$person1->language."
";
$person1->thisTest("libin");
echo "".$person1->name."
";
?>
