About DevShed PHP Manual Prev Next Chapter 13. A class is a collection of variables and functions working with these variables.
Classes are types, that is, they are blueprints for actual variables.
Classes can be extensions of other classes. The extended or derived class has all variables and functions of the base class and what you add in the extended definition. This is done using the extends keyword. You create a named cart the usual way and can now set and get the carts owner. Constructors are functions in a class that are automatically called when you create a new instance of a class.
