My apologies, the web browser decided to send prematurely on that one.
Hello all, I've been on this list for a few years now reading, and attribute much of my knowledge of PHP to users on this list (in one way or another). I am currently rebuilding my homepage from scratch, which means I have to redo all the server side code. Now, traditionally I've built all my web sites using php4, but I've looked a lot into php5 and its new OOP support. As a little background, I'm currently a computer science student in college, and have studied oop to a great deal. Here's my problem : I don't see how using php5 and oop would really benefit me in building websites. I understand objects, code reusability and all that. So I'm going to put the areas of my site here, and see how you guys would build objects for them. I have these sections: News Portfolio Code (samples of code that I've written, for resume-type purposes) Tutorials Contact About Me At first glance, I thought to object-ify the portfolio section, where each "project" would be an object. But other than that, I don't see anywhere on the site to use objects, and I could easily do that without objects. I'd like to expand my resume by being able to say that I have done OOP in php5, as I see on the jobs list that that is what employers are looking for (at least quite a few are). In addition, I was wondering what your suggestions are for php5 and oop, I don't need an oop introduction or anything like that, I'd just like some examples of how using objects would make the site better and how to structure them. Thanks in advance, -- Brian O'Connor
