PHP Class Exercises : Display a string

PHP class: Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a simple PHP class which displays the following string.

'MyClass class has initialized !'

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
class MyClass {
// Define a class named MyClass
class MyClass {
    // Define a constructor method
    public function __construct() 
    {
        // Output a message indicating that the class has been initialized
        echo 'MyClass class has initialized !'."\n";
    }
}

// Create an instance of the MyClass class
$userclass = new MyClass;
?>

Output:

MyClass class has initialized !

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

• class MyClass {: This line defines a class named "MyClass".
• public function __construct() {: This line defines a constructor method for the "MyClass" class. The constructor method is automatically called when an object of the class is created.
• echo 'MyClass class has initialized !'."\n";: This line outputs a message indicating that the class has been initialized.
• $userclass = new MyClass;: This line creates an instance of the "MyClass" class, which triggers the execution of the constructor method and outputs the initialization message.
