Product Description

With the surge of popularity of PHP 5, and with PHP 6 just around the corner, Object-Oriented Programming is now an important consideration for PHP developers. This version-neutral book is a gentle introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that won’t overburden you with complex theory. It teaches you the essential basics of OOP that you’ll need to know before moving onto a more advanced level, and includes a series of pre-packaged scripts that you can incorporate into your existing sites with the minimum of effort. It shows how OOP can be used to create reusable and portable code by walking you through a series of simple projects. The projects feature the sorts of things developers run up against every day, and include a validator for filtering user input, a simple Date class that avoids the need to remember all the esoteric format codes in PHP, and an XML generator. * Teaches the fundamentals of OOP * Simple projects show how OOP concepts work in the real world * Pre-packaged scripts can easily be added to your own projects

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended., 19 Jan 2009

By	Chunky Wilberforce ""Wilber"" (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

OOP has always fascinated me. Years ago I was inadvertently doing my own ones with static multidimensional arrays, so the basic principles are the same. Being able to wrap them up together with their associated functions is the primary gain that OOP has offered me.

The trouble with OOP and PHP is that it has changed so much over the years. If you rely on the web for your research you have to be very careful because half the articles out there refer to problems etc that have subsequently been fixed. This is especially true when dealing with cloning and referencing objects. Consequently, a decent book on the subject is a godsend.

This is a decent book. It isn't perfect. The only perfect book a programmer can find on a language is the one they write themselves once they have learnt how to use it properly. Everybody will have their own way of doing things. Consequently, some of the stuff I need to do was still not covered here in any depth (but neither was it covered anywhere else...) However, the majority of OOP that I need was, and covered well. The examples all helped too. We need more stuff like that please!

What wasn't covered? Well, I'm still learning so I am the wrong person to give a definitive list, however, one subject was a bit lacking. I was writing a table object, to render tables in a nice tidy fashion (relax, they were proper data tables, nothing to do with layout). Anyway, the table object is made up of a series of column objects. The problem I have had is referencing the column objects from within the table object. The only way I was able to do this was to make the column class properties public. If I tried using a column method within the object class it would just tank.

The book does describe how to do this properly, but it wasn't very clear and only a couple of paragraphs. I am currently using my public approach, but hopefully one day I will crack it.

So, not 100% perfect, but definately good enough to be worthy of five stars. Anybody struggling with php objects will definately find an ally here.
