c_pattle Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 At the moment I'm learning OOP programming in PHP but I was surprised at the lack of built-in methods compared to other languages? In Python you have built-ins such as the __str__ method but in PHP all I've come across are the __autoload, __construct and __destruct. I am missing some or is that all there is?

wildteen88 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Not sure what you're after but PHP has a number of magic methods in relation to OOP http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php PHP also have a few magic (run-time) constants too http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240724-built-in-methods/#findComment-1236449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_pattle Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks. I'm used to programming in Python and these methods are called "built-ins". Thanks for the link.

trq Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Python is an object oriented language though, nearly everything is an object. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240724-built-in-methods/#findComment-1236660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
