Final method:

A final method is a method that cannot be overridden.
To declare a method as final, you need to prefix the function name with the ‘final’ keyword.

eg: class Teacher {
   final public function attendance() {
      echo "Teacher attendance called";
   }
}

class Student extends Teacher {
   //this will cause Compile error
   public function attendance() {
       echo "Student attendance called";
   }
}

$st = new Student();
$st->attendance();

Results in Fatal error: Cannot override final method Teacher::attendance()

final class:

A final class is a class that cannot be extended. To declare a class as final, you need to prefix the ‘class’ keyword with ‘final’. Example below.

final class Teacher {
   public function attendance() {
      echo "Teacher attendance called";
   }
}

//this will cause Compile error
class Student extends Teacher {

}

$c = new Student();
$c->attendance();
Results in Fatal error: Class ChildClass may not inherit from final class (Teacher)
