I just started learning OOPS in php. I wrote a simple program for implementing inheritance. I am getting a fatal error of $this when not in object context. Can anyone explain me this error, what does it mean? here is my code:
<?php
class human{
public $gender;
public function _construct($gender)
{
$this->gender=$gender;
echo $this->get_gender();
}
public function get_gender()
{
return $this->gender;
}
}
class person extends human{
public $name;
public $surname;
public static function set_name($name)
{
$this->name=$name;
}
public static function set_surname($surname)
{
$this->surname=$surname;
}
public static function get_name()
{
return $this->name;
}
public static function get_surname()
{
return $this->surname;
}
}
$john = new person('male');
$john->set_name('John');
$john->set_surname('Williams');
echo $john->get_name().' '.$john->get_surname().'is a '.$john->get_gender();
?>
