Series: PHP Object-Oriented Programming(OOP) Crash Course

In this course, we'll take you from being a novice to a proficient OOP developer in PHP.

In this post, we'll explore the fundamental question: "Why should you use OOP instead of the traditional procedural approach?"

In this article, we’re diving into the world of object-oriented programming and unraveling the enigmatic concepts that make it tick.

In this guide, we're going to dive into the world of PHP classes and how to create instances of these classes, also known as instantiation.

In this blog post, we'll explore the $this keyword in PHP and how to use it to access class elements, both properties and methods.

In this blog post, we'll delve into the significance of "public," "private," "protected," and "static" accessors, why they matter, and when to use them in your code.

In the Post, we're diving into the fascinating realm of static properties and the self keyword.

In summary, constructors are a vital part of PHP's object-oriented programming. They are automatically triggered when you create an instance of a class, allowing you to initialize properties, perform actions, and set up your objects as needed.

Magic methods, including getters and setters, provide you with powerful tools to control property access in PHP classes. These methods allow you to validate, modify, or restrict access to properties, enhancing the security and reliability of your code.

There are times when you might want to perform certain actions or manipulate data that don't conform to the usual function and method calls. PHP provides a handy mechanism for dealing with this: the __call magic method
