PHP Encapsulation

Data encapsulation is the process of binding the data, and the methods that use them and data abstraction is the process of showing only the interfaces and hiding the implementation details from the user.

 

The primary goal of encapsulation is the insulation of a particular object class internal detail and show the interfaces.

 

If the data member is declared Private then it accesses within that package or class only.

Example:

<?php
class Book {
    private $bookname;

    // Getter method
    public function getName() {
        return $this->bookname;
    }

    // Setter method
    public function setName($bookname) {
        $this->bookname = $bookname;
    }
}

// Main logic
$b = new Book();
$b->setName("Onlinetpoint");
echo $b->getName();
?>
