Thanks for the input guys,
I can see the appeal of OOP in some situations, such as re-usability
of code, class libraries and such,
I have once or twice i actually tried it out (for curiosity mostly)
however i cant help but think that it takes l-o-n-g-e-r to code in OOP
and in situations where i have deadlines to meet i can bang out the
required code using proc code and functions (just as portable/re-
usable in my oppinion) faster.
Now before someone jumps in and says "yes, its slower at first but
it's re-usable code" - so are functions.
Ive also read somewhere that an OOP php script actually executes
slower than proc. Yet another factor that could potentially put me
off.
Not to mention the complexity of OOP over proc (i'm not saying that i
can't do it, just that Im a busy man and its not something you learn
overnight).
Still, if everyone else is doing it I'd better jump on the band waggon
or get left behind.
It wouldnt be good if I got that first pro PHP dev job and was asked
to do
"Something nice and easy for your first day - just finish off this
class for us will ya?"
Ha ha!
Suppose I would have learned it all in the end anyway - may as well be
sooner rather than than later!
