What is OOP in PHP?

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses "objects" to represent data and methods to operate on that data. PHP supports OOP, allowing developers to create reusable, modular code.

Key Concepts of OOP

  • Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on that data within a single unit, or class.
  • Abstraction: Hiding complex implementation details and exposing only the necessary features of an object.
  • Inheritance: Mechanism for creating new classes based on existing classes, promoting code reusability.
  • Polymorphism: Ability to present the same interface for different underlying data types.

Benefits of OOP

  • Improved code organization and structure.
  • Enhanced code reusability and maintainability.
  • Better modeling of real-world entities.
