Final Keyword in PHP

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)

Simple JavaScript Object and Class Examples

In JavaScript, most things are objects. An object is a collection of related data and/or functionality Namespace: Everything you create in JavaScript is by default global. In JavaScript namespace is Global object . How to create a namespace in JavaScript? Create one global object, and all variables, methods, and functions become properties of that object. Example:  // global namespace var MYAPP = MYAPP || {}; Explaination: Here we first checked whether MYAPP is already defined.If yes, then use the existing MYAPP global object, otherwise create an empty object called MYAPP How to create sub namespaces? // sub namespace MYAPP.event = {}; Class JavaScript is a prototype-based language and contains no class statement.JavaScript classes create simple objects and deal with inheritance. Example: var Person = function () {}; Explaination: Here we define a new class called Person with an empty constructor. Use the class keyword class Calculation {}; A class expr...

A Guide to UTF-8 for PHP and MySQL

Data Encoding: A Guide to UTF-8 for PHP and MySQL As a MySQL or PHP developer, once you step beyond the comfortable confines of English-only character sets, you quickly find yourself entangled in the wonderfully wacky world of UTF-8. On a previous job, we began running into data encoding issues when displaying bios of artists from all over the world. It soon became apparent that there were problems with the stored data, as sometimes the data was correctly encoded and sometimes it was not. This led programmers to implement a hodge-podge of patches, sometimes with JavaScript, sometimes with HTML charset meta tags, sometimes with PHP, and soon. Soon, we ended up with a list of 600,000 artist bios with double- or triple encoded information, with data being stored in different ways depending on who programmed the feature or implemented the patch. A classical technical rat’s nest.Indeed, navigating through UTF-8 related data encoding issues can be a frustrating and hair-pul...
