<title>Object Inheritance</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Inheritance is a well-established programming principle, and PHP makes use
|
|
of this principle in its object model. This principle will affect the way
|
|
many classes and objects relate to one another.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For example, when extending a class, the subclass inherits all of the
|
|
public and protected methods, properties and constants from the parent class.
|
|
Unless a class overrides
|
|
those methods, they will retain their original functionality.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This is useful for defining and abstracting functionality, and permits the
|
|
implementation of additional functionality in similar objects without the
|
|
need to reimplement all of the shared functionality.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Private methods of a parent class are not accessible to a child class. As a result,
|
|
child classes may reimplement a private method themselves without regard for normal
|
|
inheritance rules. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, however, <literal>final</literal> and <literal>static</literal>
|
|
restrictions were applied to private methods. As of PHP 8.0.0, the only private method
|
|
restriction that is enforced is <literal>private final</literal> constructors, as that
|
|
is a common way to "disable" the constructor when using static factory methods instead.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <link linkend="language.oop5.visibility">visibility</link>
|
|
of methods, properties and constants can be relaxed, e.g. a
|
|
<literal>protected</literal> method can be marked as
|
|
<literal>public</literal>, but they cannot be restricted, e.g.
|
|
marking a <literal>public</literal> property as <literal>private</literal>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Unless autoloading is used, the classes must be defined before they are
|
|
used. If a class extends another, then the parent class must be declared
|
|
before the child class structure. This rule applies to classes that inherit
|
|
other classes and interfaces.
