Hi guys

I was wondering what these terms are in php...I looked up google but couldn't find any good answers. I would appreciate if someone here can help me about it. Thanks a lot.!!!

Answer 1

Aggregation and delegation are general object-oriented programming concepts.

Here are a few links you might consider perusing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregation_(object-oriented_programming)#Aggregation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delegation_(programming)
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php <--- This is just the OOP portion of the PHP manual, where aggregation and delegation would be relevant.

Answer 2
