PHP Quiz!

Answer:

B) Constructor

All objects can have a special built-in method called a ‘constructor’. Constructors allow you to initialise your object’s properties (translation: give your properties values,) when you instantiate (create) an object.

Note: If you create a __construct() function (it is your choice,) PHP will automatically call the __construct() method/function when you create an object from your class.

The ‘construct’ method starts with two underscores (__) and the word ‘construct’.

<?php 		
	class person {
		var $name;
		function __construct($persons_name) {		
			$this->name = $persons_name;		
		}		
 
		function set_name($new_name) {
		 	 $this->name = $new_name;
		}	
 
		function get_name() {		
		 	 return $this->name;		
		 }		
 
	}	 	
?>
