  • 0

let say we have class Person($name), Does $name need to be asigned as null as such:

class Person{
    var $name = null;

    public function __construct($name = null){
        $this->name = $name;
    }
}

Or can var $name = null be eliminated all together?

    You can safely leave it as var $name;. null will be the default value anyway.
