Inheritance in PHP<\/h2>\n

Inheritance is the php oops concept which is based around the concept of base classes or superclasses and derived classes<\/a> or subclasses.<\/p>\n

Base classes or Super Classes are also known as parent classes and similarly, derived classes or subclasses are known as child classes.<\/p>\n

In the real world as a child take features from their parents, Same way in oops, child class inherit properties of their parent class with the help of inheritance.<\/p>\n

We use `extends` keyword to implement inheritance in php.<\/p>\n

Advantage of using inheritance in php oops, we can share properties of one class to other class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In simple words Inheritance\u00a0is When a class is defined by inheriting existing function of a parent class then it is called inheritance. Here child class will inherit all or few member functions and variables of a parent class.<\/p>\n

Parent class<\/b>\u00a0\u2212 A class that is inherited from by another class. This is also called a base class or super class.<\/p>\n

Child Class<\/b>\u00a0\u2212 A class that inherits from another class. This is also called a subclass or derived class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
