    Constructors allow initializing an object's properties upon creation and are defined using the __construct() method. Destructors call a method when an object is destroyed and are defined using the __destruct() method. The document provides an example class with a constructor that sets name and color properties, and a destructor that outputs the property values.

    Constructor and

    Destructor
    Constructor
    ► A constructor allows you to initialize an object's properties upon creation of the
    object.
    ► If you create a __construct() function, PHP will automatically call this function when you create
    an object from a class
    ► Notice that the construct function starts with two underscores (__)!

    ► function __construct($name) {
    }
    Example
    <html> <body><?php
    ► class Fruit {
    ► public $name;
    ► public $color;
    ► function __construct($name, $color) {
    ► $this->name = $name;
    ► $this->color = $color; }
    ► function get_name() {
    ► return $this->name;
    ► }
    ► function get_color() {
    ► return $this->color;
    ► }
    ► }
    ► $apple = new Fruit("Apple", "red");
    ► echo $apple->get_name();
    ► echo $apple->get_color(); ?> </body></html>
    Destructor
    ► A destructor is called when the object is destructed or the script is stopped or exited.
    ► If you create a __destruct() function, PHP will automatically call this function at the
    end of the script.
    ► Notice that the destruct function starts with two underscores (__)!
    ► As constructors and destructors helps reducing the amount of code, they are very
    useful!
    ► The example below has a __construct() function that is automatically called when you
    create an object from a class, and a __destruct() function that is automatically called
    at the end of the script:
    Example
    ► <html><body>
    ► <?php class Fruit {
    ► // Properties
    ► var $name;
    ► var $color;
    ► // Methods
    ► function __construct($name, $color) {
    ► $this->name = $name;
    ► $this->color = $color; }
    ► function __destruct() {
    ► echo "The fruit is {$this->name} and the color is {$this->color}.";
    ► }
    ► }
    ► $apple = new Fruit("Apple", "red");
    ► ?></body></html>
