Re: Anybody got a little spare time to help me out with a little OOP

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_oriented_programming I remember having troubles understanding OOP, especially going from Pic Microcontroller assembly to Java, but I found the Wikipedia article helped a lot. I still write in functions, but I understand OO :-) . BTW : Hello list. I just joined. Michael Kubler *G*rey *P*hoenix *P*roductions <http://www.greyphoenix.biz> Ted Wood wrote:

Thanks for replying, but how and where do I put that into the script? all that "this->" stuff is confusing....

Tony Marsten's links seem to be very good, but let me offer you a simpler introduction. Once you can think in an OOP fashion, procedural-/functional-based programming seems archaic. Object-oriented programming is all about thinking about everything as "objects".... people, cars, flowers, dogs, pictures, food items... whatever your application manages. You model up these real-world objects using simple PHP syntax. Objects can refer to themselves (or their inheritance) using $this->, which means "me" or "mine". When using $this->, the object is referring to a property or method (aka function) within itself or inherited from one of its parents, whichever comes first. ~Ted
