What is a php object -- give an example snippet?
The simple answer is that everything is an object. The object model was revamped for PHP 5 allowing for more features and performance.

Reply:You need to research the concepts of object oriented programming (OOP).





An object is, as one of the previous answers says, an object. It can be anythings. The key thing about OOP is that objects have properties and methods. Poperties are the variables for each object, and the ethods are the functions that each object can do.





Objects are created from classes, which are basically a template for an object.





e.g.





class person


{


var $name;


var $height;





function breathe()


{


//do stuff here


}


}





You would then create an object by creating a 'new' instance of this class.





$Bob = new person;





$Bob-%26gt;$name = "Bob";


$Bob-%26gt;$height = 185;





Now you have an object called $Bob, with height and name properties defined.





This is a very simple example, make sure you understand the concepts of classes and objects first.
