⟩ Tell me in PHP, what are magic methods and how are they used?
PHP functions that start with a double underscore – a “__” – are called magic functions (and/or methods) in PHP. They are functions that are always defined inside classes, and are not stand-alone (outside of classes) functions.
The magic functions available in PHP are:
☛ __construct(),
☛ __destruct(),
☛ __call(),
☛ __callStatic(),
☛ __get(),
☛ __set(),
☛ __isset(),
☛ __unset(),
☛ __sleep(),
☛ __wakeup(),
☛ __toString(),
☛ __invoke(),
☛ __set_state(),
☛ __clone(), and
☛ __autoload().
