Question

Does php support operator overloading?

I\'m trying to create a class that takes in a date and I\'d like to compare it with another object without having to use methods o

Answer 1

PHP's interpretation of "overloading" is different than most object oriented languages. Overloading traditionally provides the ability to have multiple methods with the same name but different quantities and types of arguments.

Answer 2

PHP doesn't support operator overloading.

There is an ancient extension which allowed to do this in a manner similar to python. You can find it here.

That being said, your best bet nowadays is to just use regular methods for comparison.
