What is Constructor and Destructor in PHP  OOPS ?

Ans –   It is special types of function in php oops , That is called automatically when object is created from class.

 

// In PHP4 version
class Class{
    function Class(){
  // constructor logic here
    }
}

//In PHP5+ Version
class Class{
    function __construct(){
  // constructor logic here
    }

__construct(   )  :   It is magic methods that start with double underscore . It override the PHP default action .

 

Destructor:    It is special type of function that is invoked automatically when object of class is deleted or out of scope.

 

class Class{
  function __construct(){
  // logics in constructor
    }
    function __destruct(){
  // this is destructor 
    }
}

 

There are some types of constructor  :

Default constructor

It is constructor that is called without having parameter.

 

Parameterized constructor

It is constructor that having atleast one parameters.

 

class Animal{
    public $name;
    public $colour;
  
    public function __construct($name){ // parameterized constructor
        $this->name = $name; 
    }
}
$carObj = new Animal("maruti suzuki"); // parameterized constructor 
echo $carObj ->name;

//Output:
maruti suzuki

 

Copy Constructor –

 

class Animal{
    public $name;
    public $model;
  
    public function __construct($name){ // parameterized constructor
        $this->name = $name; 
    }
    public function __clone(){ 
    } 
}
$carObj1 = new Animal("maruti suzuki"); // parameterized constructor
$carObj2 = clone $carObj1 ; 
echo $carObj2 ->name;

//Output:
maruti suzuki

 

Static Constructor

 

Private Constructor  :  It makes ensure that only one instance of class can created . It is example of singleton class that provides the global access of that  instance –

 

class Class 
{
    private static $instance;
    private function __construct() {
    }
    public static function get_instance() {
    if (!self::$instance)
            self::$instance = new Class();
        return self::$instance;
    }
}
