Hi eveyone,

I have to write a paper on OOP language, and I have chosen PHP for it. I was wondering if you guys can help me out with certain area's that I can focus my paper on. Would be a great help.

PHP is not really a full blown OOP language as yet, but from what I have seen with the new version.... soon to hit the streets, its getting there.

I think a nice idea to base your paper on would be, the development of OOP in PHP3 and how it progressed in to PHP4 Objects and where it is going with the new version 5. Check out the iSeminar out @ Zend.com

🙂

Enjoy the paper

Abstration in programming.. ie modelling the solution to the problem vs. modeling against the machine... Too many programmers make the mistake of modelling the machine code rather than solving the problem...

How many of us have learned not to write our own classes but to extend (meaning inheritance) a class. (and hence why interfacing in PHP5 and the PEAR packages is such a boon) .

PHP is still interpreted, not compiled though and your instructor might cite that against you since PHP is yet to be full-fledged OOP (and never will be according to Zeev.... )
