php editor Xiaoxin will give you a detailed analysis of the constructor in PHP. A constructor is a method that is automatically called when an object is instantiated to initialize the object's properties. Through the constructor, you can pass parameters and assign values ​​to properties when creating an object, improving the readability and reusability of the code. The name of the constructor is the same as the class name, and there is no need to call it manually, which facilitates unified management and maintenance of the code. In PHP, constructors are an important part of object-oriented programming. In-depth understanding and rational application of constructors can improve the quality and efficiency of code.

We will also use this function to initialize the properties of the object in the class with the given parameters.

Finally, we will see how to initiate an object in a child class and call the parent class constructor when both classes have separate constructors.


Use the php constructor to initialize the properties of the object in the class

In the following example, we will create a class Student and assign its properties to new Student using the __construct function.

The __construct function reduces the amount of code associated with using the function set_name().
