I'm about to start a semi-big project (at least for me) and I was wondering how to go about planning for it. I don't really know where to start (as in the order of what to program, etc, etc)
It's just a simply form submission to a MySQL database and then an admin interface that allows for different ways of organizing and displaying data using different levels of user groups as well.
I'm trying to decide whether to use OOP or not. I haven't really used it for anything before. I get how to program using it but the idea of the logic behind using it really hasn't gotten to me yet. I guess you can say that it hasn't "clicked".
Whenever I start to use it I always go back to wondering why I couldn't use include files where the different files which would be comparable to objects in a class based system. Maybe my logic is off on how these are supposed to work.
So if anyone could explain their opinions on how to start planning for a project that would be great. Or if someone could explain OOP (logic of it) alongside a basic plainning outline for a project like this (or similar) that would be great.
Thanks!
