Thank you for the info. The PHP5 thing sounds like a public relations issue with PHP though. Because a lot of the major media available on PHP (books and online info) still very much present PHP 5 as seemingly brand new

Using the vernacular "I have a PHP5 job" is pass�. PHP5 is now over five years old, any PHP job should be a PHP5 job :-P. Couple of must-dos: * Use special function "__construct" NOT class name for constructor. * Use visibility: public, protected, don't just make everything public * Define the special function "__toString" with something useful, makes debugging much simpler * Read, and I mean read, don't skim, through every single page here: http://php.net/oop - jake >> >> >> >> Warmest regards, >> >> >> >> Peter Sawczynec >> >> Technology Dir. >> >> blustudio >> >> 941.893.0396 >> >> p...@blu-studio.com >> >> www.blu-studio.com >> >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List >> http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk >> >> http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php > > > _______________________________________________ > New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List > http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk > > http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php > _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
