as someone new to oop, why would you use class Student, then turn around and make a function Student..
When you make a function with the same name as the class name within the class, this is a special function called a constructor. This function is called when an object of the class is created. Remember that the class is a guideline for making objects. This is explained in the article...
i have no idea what you are talking about when you refer to $a_student = new Student(fdsa,fdsaf); ...
$a_student is an an object of class Student (if you want to be more fancy, $a_student is an an instantiation of class Student). We designed a class called Student, and now we are actually creating a Student by using new. The fdsa,fdsaf are values that are passed to the constructor.
