Object Oriented programming using PHP
PHP supports Object Orientation since the release of PHP3. Further Improvements were made by PHP 4. Since the introduction of the PHP 5 lots of the features of the Object Orientation were included. You could create a class in PHP as the following :
class <<class name>> {
<<private/public/ $property name>> // properties list
….
//method list
function <<function name>> {
}
….
}
It is same as the other Object Oriented programming. Try it out. If you have any problems leave a comment.

Object Oriented programming using PHP
You can create classes and sub classes in PHP 5. Example is given here.
****Implementing Parent Class
class parentClass{
private $parentName;Â //properties can be public, private or protected.
private $parentProperty;
private function1{ //methods also can be public, private or protected.
//statements
}
function2{
//statements
}
}
****** Implementing sub class
class childClass extends parentClass{
private $childName;
private $childProperty;
function1{
//statements
}
function2{
//statements
}
}
For more details you can refer to http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php

Yes it is possible. You can create a separate file for the classes you created and call using following code.
using keyword "require"
require( "class/class_db.php" );
or using keyword "include"
include("class/class_item.php");
*** It is better including each class in a separate file. By that way it is easy to modify the code.
Once you have linked the classes objects could be created using the key word "new"
$obj_item = new class_item();
For further details on creating classes and objects refer to official php site php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php.

It is possible of linking the classes using the key word "include". And then work as the tutorial to create instances and use the object oriented features.
