How can object-oriented principles be applied to a database management system for an order management system in PHP?

To apply object-oriented principles to a database management system for an order management system in PHP, we can create classes for entities such as orders, products, and customers, and use methods within these classes to interact with the database. This approach helps to encapsulate data and functionality related to each entity, making the code more organized and maintainable. 

class Order {
    private $orderId;
    private $customerId;
    private $products = [];

    public function __construct($orderId, $customerId) {
        $this->orderId = $orderId;
        $this->customerId = $customerId;
    }

    public function addProduct($productId, $quantity) {
        // Add product to order
    }

    public function getTotalPrice() {
        // Calculate total price of order
    }

    // Other methods for interacting with the database
}

class Product {
    private $productId;
    private $name;
    private $price;

    public function __construct($productId, $name, $price) {
        $this->productId = $productId;
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->price = $price;
    }

    // Getters and setters
}

class Customer {
    private $customerId;
    private $name;
    private $email;

    public function __construct($customerId, $name, $email) {
        $this->customerId = $customerId;
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->email = $email;
    }

    // Getters and setters
}
