Brian,
I suggest that you look into MVC frameworks (like CakePHP) to see how
you could use them to create your new website. That would help you to
better understand OOP, and how you seperate different functions into
logical categories.
For example, with some of your pages that will probably be stored in a
database (Tutorials, News, maybe Code Samples) you could create
functions to create, update, and delete these records inside the MVC
framework. Using something like CakePHP would, I think, put you on the
road to discovering why OOP is so important even in web-based
application development.

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,
