What is Method, Property and Function?

Question

Yeah, I\'m struggling with that. I cannot distinguish among them because every explanation I read is so unclear and philosophical enough. Can someone clear up these definiti

Answer 1

Function is a standalone construction like trim(), strlen(), fopen() etc.

function myAbcFunction() { ... }

Method is a function of object. It is defined in class. Property is just property of object:

class MyClass {
    public $property; // Public property: $objInstance->property
    protected $property2; // Protected property

    public function doSth() {
        // That's a method. $objInstance->doSth();
    }
}

I suggest read the manual Classes and Objects chapter.
