Why object-oriented PHP?
Apress eBooks · 2008
Let’s get things straight right from the start: PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) is not an object-oriented language, but it does have extensive object-oriented features. These underwent comprehensive revision and enhancement when PHP 5 was released in July 2004, and the PHP 5 object-oriented programming (OOP) model remains essentially unchanged in PHP 6. The purpose of this book is to help you leverage those features to make your code easier to reuse in a variety of situations. I assume you’re familiar with basic PHP concepts, such as variables, arrays, and functions. If you’re not, this isn’t the book for you—at least not yet. I suggest you start with a more basic one, such as my PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy (friends of ED, ISBN13: 978-1-59059-731-6). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
