Oop?

[james2010]

I'm sure this is a very redundant question, and I apologize if it is. I've read a few tutorials on 'how' to implement OOP to PHP, but I'm not sure as to when to implement it. Are there any good indications as to when you would be better off using OOP when using PHP?

This is probably hard to say there never really is a certain time you should use OOP

But think of OOP as in the tutorials you've probably seen as objects,

Each Object within the class has some sort of function to the entire outcome of the class

So a good use would be say a dbclass

In a dbclass you'de have

A Connection
A place to select the database

A Query bit
Something to fetch data from the query

etc..

Thats a good example on when to use one, as it is Always Used throughout a site, Has Many parts(objects0 to the overall result. And is faster than using a whole pile of functions.
