OOP is VERY useful for one-man operations. Learning OOP, however, is
somewhat time-consuming (which is not good for one-man ops).
If you're in PHP 5, you're a lot better off OOP-wise. This makes it a
little difficult, if you learn PHP5 and use it's OOP features, but
then somehow get stuck in PHP 4, which is a lot more free-wheeling
(think JavaScript).
This is a really difficult question to answer, since bad OOP-
influenced code can be WORSE than some procedural or functional code.
But it sure makes it a lot less finger-breaking to code:
<code>
class Build_Html_Page {
public static function __construct($key) {
$str = $this->getHtmlHeader() .
$this->getHtmlBody($key) .
$this->getHtmlFooter();
return $str;
}
protected function getHtmlHeader() {
include BASE_PATH.'/INC/html-head.inc.php';
}
protected function getHtmlFooter() {
include BASE_PATH.'/INC/html-foot.inc.php';
}
protected function getHtmlBody() {
include BASE_PATH.'/INC/switch_content'.
$this->getSwitchKey().
'.inc.php';
}
protected function getSwitchKey() {
$key = empty($_GET['section']) === true ?
'index' : $_GET['section'];
return $key;
}
}
$site = new Build_Html_Page();
echo($site);
</code>
There you have a very low-key front-controller for a website. If you
want to change the switch section key logic, it sits in one place, and
one place only.
I personally like:

Also, try the Google Maps API to see a professionally-developed OOP
script (in JavaScript). Once you use objects well-developed, it makes
all the difference.
