PHP: Classes and Object-Oriented Programming in PHP

In this tutorial, I'll introduce you to the concept of Classes and Objects in PHP. To put it simply, an Object in the context of programming languages is a data structure which can contain any number of variables and functions all held together under a Class name. This Class can then be created in the normal scope of the code and stored inside a new variable, and multiple copies of this same class can be created. This allows for an even greater level of code encapsulation
