Is this phrasal verb structure correct?
I learnt that with phrasal verbs we can put the object before the particle or after the particle.So, is this sentence right: I got out of here him(object after the particle) I am asking this cause its sounds weird to my ears.

'him' is a pronoun, so it has to go between the verb and its particle. Yes: I got him out of here, She threw it away, Bob put them back, We picked her up, slow them down, take him in, ... No: I got out him of here, I got out of here him, She threw away it, Bob put back them, We picked up her, slow down them, take in him, ...
