How can Object-Oriented Programming be effectively utilized in developing a PHP-based blog system with different page types?

To effectively utilize Object-Oriented Programming in developing a PHP-based blog system with different page types, you can create a base Page class with common properties and methods, then extend this class to create specific page type classes such as ArticlePage, AboutPage, ContactPage, etc. Each page type class can have its unique properties and methods, allowing for better organization and reusability of code. 

<?php

// Base Page class
class Page {
    protected $title;
    protected $content;

    public function __construct($title, $content) {
        $this->title = $title;
        $this->content = $content;
    }

    public function display() {
        echo "<h1>{$this->title}</h1>";
        echo "<p>{$this->content}</p>";
    }
}

// ArticlePage class extending Page
class ArticlePage extends Page {
    protected $author;

    public function __construct($title, $content, $author) {
        parent::__construct($title, $content);
        $this->author = $author;
    }

    public function display() {
        parent::display();
        echo "<p>Author: {$this->author}</p>";
    }
}

// Example usage
$article = new ArticlePage("Sample Article", "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.", "John Doe");
$article->display();

?>
