OOP – Instance of an object
So I’m playing around with OOP in PHP. I only do this part time, a few times per week so excuse me if this is a dumb question.
If for example I have a person class.
When a form is submitted I create a new instance of that person
“`$Person = new Person($_POST[‘personaName’]);
For example.
And within the Person Class I have a constructor;
“`
public function __construct($personName){
$personName = $personName;
}
However, If I want to get a person from my database. How can I do something like
“`
$PersonClass = new Person;
$Person = $PersonClass->searchById($_GET[‘ID’]);
Where this method looks up the person in my database and creates them?
Does this second class need be just that, a complete second class which constructs and returns the Person?

</i>class Person {
public function create($name) {
// do whatever you do when you create from name
}
public function readById($id) {
// populate from DB with ID
}
}
$person1 = new Person();
$person1->create($_POST['personName']);
$person2 = new Person();
$person2->readById($_GET['ID']);
