Hello everyone,
Just a basic question.
I have my class starting like this:
Class OireMail {
// these are required
public $smtp_server="";
public $domain="";
public $from="";
public $login="";
public $pass="";
And then go the function themselves.
I was told that it's better to put the initial variables in the
__construct() function. What are the advantages of doing that and if I
need to do it, how would I call the class from another file then?
Thanks!
The advantages of initializing the variables in __construct() is that
whenever an object of the class is created, the variables have the
values you expect.
If you don't put them in __construct(), you will have to create another
method which will have to be called after you have created the object
using the new operator.
Ultimately its the same thing, __construct() is called automatically,
only that's the difference.
