I'm doing some exercises in PHP OO and I came across some functions that call a class before the variable. But I did not really understand why.
For example:
public function Exemplo(Request $request, $nome, $sobrenome) {
// métodos
}
If I call a class to use as a parameter, why not use a comma to stop the variable class?
It should be something simple, but this is causing confusion here. Thank you for letting me know.

There is no typing in php at first ... But in this case, the variable $request has a type yes, type Request .
int to the variable $request by mistake ... You would lose all $ request information: data, cookies, tokens ...
"Typing" the variable $request you do not make unnecessary assignments in it, and accidental loss of variables.
PS: You are not using a class as a parameter, you are setting $request to type Request , just like typed languages you do with other variables, such as int numero; , double numero , String texto ...
I hope I have helped!
