As much classes/objects as possible, imo. 'functions' by themselves are
OK for smaller stuff,
but when you start getting larger projects, and need to make changes -
heaven help you, unless
you're smart enough to have made most/all of your parameters passed into
the functions into one
big array.
having multiple function calls in various places like
$x = calculateFreight($sku,$state)
when you then need to add 'weight' as a parameter is a pain.
It's more of a pain if I have to remember what order the parameters go
in - I have to do
$x = calculateFreight($sku,$state,$weight);
not
$x = calculateFreight($sku,$weight,$state);
else my function will be problematic. Being able to do something like
$x = new item();
$x->weight= 1;
$x->state = 2;
$x->sku = 3;
$x->calculateFreight();
without worrying about the order of the parameters helps a lot, imo.
To each his own tho.
