Through this query, we will know about $this keyword in PHP and how can we use and apply it in PHP. So, first, we will define $this keyword<\/em><\/strong>. The $this keyword is an -><\/strong> operator applied on the class and object and it only points to the current class object. you remove the $<\/strong> sign in front of the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ex:<\/strong>
$this ->color
class Fruit
{
public $color;
function showColor ($name)
{
$this ->color = $name;
echo “Color Name: $this ->color”;
}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$guava = new Fruit;
$guava ->showColor(‘green’);<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you will understand the concept behind the $this keyword and if you will run this below-mentioned code in your php program, it will definitely run and show an accurate result according to the below-provided code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?php\nclass Fruit{\n  var $color1;   \n  function showcolor(){\n    echo $this->color;\n  }\n}\n \n$guava = new Fruit;\n$guava->color=\"Green\";\n$guava->showColor();\n?><\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
