Object-oriented programming is perhaps the dominant development paradigm for leading languages including Java, C#, and Python. The rich class and inheritance framework wasn’t fully implemented in modern PHP until 2015, and best practices for object-oriented programming are still emerging.

This course is an introduction to object-oriented programming in PHP. You’ll start with the basics of the OOP paradigm and get familiar with classes, objects, methods, and properties. You’ll then chain methods and properties using the this keyword before working with access modifiers and magic methods. With these basics down, you’ll take a deep dive into object-oriented programming in PHP, including inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism, and namespaces. After exploring exception handling, you’ll use these object-oriented techniques to build, manage, and edit a PHP database.

By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to build dynamic server-side applications using object-oriented programming in PHP.

What is the output of the following code?
```
<?php 
abstract class Chair {
 protected $weight;

 public function setWeight($chairWeight) {
 $this -> weight = $chairWeight;
 }

 abstract public function calcChairPrice();
 abstract public function displayChair(); 
}

class WoodChair extends Chair {
 public function calcChairPrice() {
 return $this -> weight * 100;; 
 }
}

$chair = new WoodChair();
$chair -> setWeight(20);
echo $chair -> calcChairPrice();
?>
```

What is the output of the following code?
<pre><code>&lt;?php 
abstract class Chair {
 protected $weight;

 public function setWeight($chairWeight) {
 $this -&gt; weight = $chairWeight;
 }

 abstract public function calcChairPrice();
 abstract public function displayChair(); 
}

class WoodChair extends Chair {
 public function calcChairPrice() {
 return $this -&gt; weight * 100;; 
 }
}

$chair = new WoodChair();
$chair -&gt; setWeight(20);
echo $chair -&gt; calcChairPrice();

`My name is Johnny and my Roll no. is 100.`

`Johnny is saying hello.`

`My name is John and my Roll no. is 221.`

`John is saying hello.`

What is the output of the following code?
```
<?php 
interface Display{
 public function display();
}

interface Speak{
 public function speak();
}

class Student implements Display, Speak{ 
 private $name = "Johnny";
 private $rollno = "100";

 public function display(){
 echo "My name is " . $this -> name . " and my Roll no. is " . $this -> rollno . ".\n";
 }

 public function speak(){
 echo $this -> name . " is saying hello.";
 }
}

$student = new Student();
$student -> name = "John";
$student -> name = "221";
$student -> display();
$student -> speak();
?>
```

What is the output of the following code?
<pre><code>&lt;?php 
interface Display{
 public function display();
}

interface Speak{
 public function speak();
}

class Student implements Display, Speak{ 
 private $name = &quot;Johnny&quot;;
 private $rollno = &quot;100&quot;;

 public function display(){
 echo &quot;My name is &quot; . $this -&gt; name . &quot; and my Roll no. is &quot; . $this -&gt; rollno . &quot;.\n&quot;;
