How does PHP handle the declaration and definition of methods compared to other languages like C++?

In PHP, methods are declared within a class using the `function` keyword, similar to how functions are declared outside of classes. This differs from languages like C++, where methods are declared within a class using the `::` scope resolution operator. To define a method in PHP, you simply write the method's code within the class definition.

class MyClass {
    public function myMethod() {
        // method code here
    }
}
