Classes and Objects(http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php) > When and why would I use it? It is a preferential manner of coding. It is not strictly necessary in any situation, but there are some arguments about when it should be used and when it shouldn't(unless your a Java programmer). I have found OOP to be very useful for some large projects, and for others I have avoided it for no other reason than I didn't feel like coding my app that way on that particular day. > Is it only to group certain functions or does it have a special function? As I said it is just another style of coding. Take a shot at writing an OO app. It takes some getting used to, but its something everyone should at least know so at the very least you can understand someone else's code. > Thanks! > > Regards, > Sumarlidi Einar Dadason > > SED - Graphic Design -- phill
