Class Basics
Lab: Ins and Outs of PHP Namespace for WordPress
Video Runtime: 12:20
Class structures use namespacing too, just like functions do. Within its namespace, PHP knows how to find the methods and properties of a class blueprint. When you use the class outside of the namespace, you need to make PHP know which class you mean. That means you can either:
- You can specify its fully qualified name such as
\KnowTheCode\InsOutsPHPNamespacing\Sandbox\Post - If the namespace is the root, then you can use a relative name such as
$post = new Sandbox\Post(); - You can import the class using the PHP keyword
use. - You can import and then alias the class.
You can learn more about aliasing and importing in the PHP manual.
Your functions are bloated. Put them on a diet. Think "skinny" and "as few lines as possible."
