It was after reading about how to use PHP class constructors that I was actually able to do this. Constructors define how your class is created and can also have parameters. In essence, they make your classes modifiable.

Most of us have heard of the pinky promise or pinky swear. To those of you who don't know, you may be wondering, what is a pinky swear?
