Php program Using OOPs

Above method of writing program is known as procedural approach. Now OOPs concepts has been already introduced in PHP5, so lets rewrite the above program using OOPs i,e using classes.

Step 1: Make a file called class.php and write the following code and save it.

<?phps

class firstClass
{
 public function display()
 {
   echo "My first program in php!" ;
 }
}
$f1 = new firstClass() ; //creating object of the class.
$f1->display() ; //calling method  of a class.
?>

Step 2: Open browser to execute the file.

That's it. You have successfully written your first Php code using procedural approach and OOPs approach.
