Hope my last email was received more as playful than annoying. I figured you had done what I've done too many times in the past and just sent a message before it was ready to go out. Happens to all of us.
Yes, I took it as a playful response to my mistake, I laughed :) Thanks to everyone who has responded so far, I was thinking of looking at CakePHP already so this is just more reason to do so. I think more of my problem is when I see potential objects, I see more code, and more work to accomplish the same goal. I think when I said PHP5 in my previous post, I really meant OOP. I can switch to PHP5 without using OOP, which isn't my problem. It's more migrating toward the OOP approach to web development. My problem is as of now, when I see a task, and I think of how to do it with objects, I see more code and more obstacles than just placing it in the file (not even necessarily a function), and more work, for nice, but not essential benefits. Someone I develop with created a good User class that I've been looking at, and I feel that's a good example of something to use an object for. Other examples that I could look into would be very helpful. On 7/17/07, Allen Shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I figured you had done what I've done too many times in the past and just sent a message before it was ready to go out. Happens to all of us. You're getting good advice from others already on the OOP questions. It's time to move on from PHP4, and rebuilding a site sounds like the perfect opportunity. A personal site can also be a great chance to experiment with new concepts. - Allen -- Allen Shaw Polymer (http://polymerdb.org) slidePresenter (http://slides.sourceforge.net) _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
