First of all what you call "normal" is procedural or functional programming. There is nothing wrong with doing things this way and may be
especially quick and efficient when doing basic web sites and applications.
Document well and you will have no problem maintaining your code.
One correction. What is being described is procedural or imperative programming. Functional programming is another beast entirely (closures, first-class functions, immutable variables, etc.). PHP is not a functional language by any stretch of the imagination. For functional programming, see Erlang, Haskel, ML, LISP, and to a lesser extent Javascript. [/snip]
Thanks for the correction Larry, I knew the difference and just brain farted.
Thanks guys, I will try to test some of this stuff for my new project... could be fun from what I have seen so far. Cheers! Chris -- ------------------------------------- My baby's first words will be "Hello World"
