a doubt in class in php

[arunkumar]

Sir,
I actually come across this coding

<?php
include "classes.class";

$objP= new Page;
$objP->disp( );
?>

;-)

whether it is possiblt to include classes as .class file please explain me.

It isn't required for an include file to have a .php file extension. However, just be aware that if it doesn't, anyone would be able to read the file.

How can i create a class file in php or it is a java class file.

Here is a very general format for creating a class in PHP.

<?php

class ClassName
{

	var $var1;
	var $var2;
	...

	//The constructor function
	function ClassName(variable list here)
	{
	$this->var1 = $var1;
	....
	$this->ClassFunction();
	}
	
	function ClassFunction()
	{
	//Do something here
	}

	function getClassVars()
	{	
	// Return variables to the calling function	
	}
}

?>

Save your class with a .php file extension. That prevents being able to read the raw script.
