OOP way in php programming (Not introduction)

Hi all,

i read about OOP and know it's benefits but i don't know how to start using it in my applications ,

Can experts here help beginners to start applying OOP principles (such as in an example) .....

Thanks for all

I use OOP when and only when I have to do one process many times. For instance, in my library I have a Query class that runs queries (usually MySQL or PostgreSQL, and I have a configuration to tell it which one), debugs queries, returns number of rows/an array or rows returned from the query, logs errors and returns a nice smiley face to the user, cleans data, et cetera. Sure, you can put all your stuff into a class and that will be OOP, but not good OOP and that is what you should aim for when using OOP, or any code for that matter.

thank you mr 'ryon420' i do an application there's a lot of forms,lot of textboxes and a lot of quaries and much repitition you said :



so i think i need to use this way

is there any examples about ("mysql quaries class" or "forms class" for example) ?

i'll be very thankful for you

Hi ahmeds and ryon420

ryon420 - interesting take on the use of OOP. Nothing about abstraction in there though? Surely that is a major benefit also.

ahmeds - for database classes try MDB2 in the PEAR library.
