If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated

The best way to look at how OOP and PHP go together is to actually get some scripts and look at them

The books i have read don't generally go into much detail about OO, so use them in conjunction with a site such as phpclasses.

Or you can just do a search here on phpbuilder.

It can take a bit of time (i know as i'm just getting round to making all my old scripts OO -:o).

The important point is not so much to actually write OO code but to understand WHY OO is being used. After all understanding is half the battle.

Well this is what i understand so far..

Classes are objects..

so each object within a function has a specific requirement in what they need to do..

So an example is to get a date. Like my first one.

We have the to first make the var $today from there we can make $tomorrow or whatever

then theres the objects that do what we want.. So far mine only has today's date.. Exact time. Time place..

Well to have a look at what i did..

class mdate
{
var $today;
function dates()
	{
	$this->today=date("l dS F, Y h:i:sa O T");
	echo $this->today;
	}
}
	$class = new mdate($today);
    echo $class->dates();
?>

Most of that i barely understand very well..
