What is Inheritance in PHP?
Category: Oop
Inheritance in PHP allows a child class (also called a subclass) to inherit properties and methods from a parent class (also known as a superclass). This means you can define common functionality once and reuse it across multiple classes without rewriting code.
class ParentClass {
public function greet() {
echo "Hello from Parent!";
}
}
class ChildClass extends ParentClass {
// Inherits greet() method
}
$obj = new ChildClass();
$obj->greet(); // Output: Hello from Parent!
✅ Here, ChildClass automatically has access to greet() from ParentClass because it uses the extends keyword.
