I just figured I could do this with only one function.

Well there is only one method (function). The constructor is responsible for constructing the object. It initializes the values you pass. The getter method is just that, a way to get the value.


class Animal {
  
  # Property
  public $name;
  
  # Constructor
  function __construct($name)
  {
    $this->name = $name;
  }
  
  # Getter
  public function getName()
  {
    return $this->name;
  }
  
}

$animal = new Animal('Dog');

echo $animal->getName();
