Please people,
I am just starting the course. Special thanks to quadrillo for this wonderful humanitarian gesture.
Can anybody give me a guide on how to install php on my system. I have downloaded xammp as advised by someone and php but after installation, I wanted to access http://localhost and its requesting username and password I never put in the first place. Even when I tried running a sample script, it  brought out the download box. I guess maybe I didn't get something right so I have uninstall both.
Please ppl, I know that there are great minds here and am eager to learn this php thingy.

if that installation is giving you too much problem, kindly download WAMP SERVER 2.0

I believe that should do, after which u can type "http://localhost/" in ur browser, u should get the right response.

OK, let's continue,

Creating and Using Objects

To create an instance of an object from a class, you use the "new" keyword in PHP, as follows:

$myObject = new myClass;

In this example, myClass is the name of a class that must be defined in the scriptusually in an include fileand $myObject becomes a myClass object.

Multiple Objects You can use the same class many times in the same script by simply creating new instances from that class but with new object names.

Methods and Properties
The methods and properties defined in myClass can be referenced for $myObject. The following are generic examples:

$myObject->myValue = "555-1234";
$myObject->myMethod();

The arrow symbol (->made up of a hyphen and greater-than symbolindicates a method or property of the given object. To reference the current object within the class definition, you use the special name $this.

The following example defines myClass with a method that references one of the object properties:

class myClass {
var $myValue = "Jelly";

function myMethod() {
echo "myValue is " . $this->myValue . "<br>";
}
}

$myObject = new myClass;
$myObject->myMethod();
$myObject->myValue = "Custard";
$myObject->myMethod();



This example makes two separate calls to myMethod. The first time it displays the default value of myValue; an assignment within the class specifies a default value for a property. The second call comes after that property has had a new value assigned. The class uses $this to reference its own property and does not care, or even know, that in the script its name is $myObject.

If the class includes a special method known as a constructor, arguments can be supplied in parentheses when an object is created, and those values are later passed to the constructor function. This is usually done to initialize a set of properties for each object instance, and it looks similar to the following:

$myObject = new myClass($var1, $var2);

Using a Third-Party Class
The best way to learn how to work with classes is to use one. Let's take a look at a popular third-party class written by me, which provides a comprehensive way to validate email addresses.

see you in the next class, where we work around some classes that I've written.


Thanks

Hello sir,
i am having problems with my login script, which i have tackle enough but i can't figure out the problem.
The problem is that after creating (loginpage.php, signup_page.php, welcome.php, welcome_logout.php) i tried to login through my loginpage.php after signing up to my dba,
but i found out that the loginpage.php still leads me to a signup_page.php instead of taking me to welcome.php.
But if i signup_page.php, it will take me to welcome.php.
Sir i don't know what to do again, so i brought my script for you to check if am mistaking something. Download it through the attachment.
Thanks

Seems the Nland don't allow such script.
