Dang-I know this is a subjective question so will probably get booted off/locked, but I’ll try anyway, because I don’t know where else to ask (feel free to point me to a better place to ask this!)

I’m just wrapping my head around oop with PHP, but I’m still not using frameworks or anything.

I’d like to create several small simple objects that I could use in my own websites to better get a feel for them.

Can anyone recommend a list or a resource that could point me to say 10 day-to-day objects that people would use in basic websites?

The reason I’m asking is because I’m confusing myself a bit. For example, I was thinking of a “database connection” object, but then I’m just thinking that is just a function, and not really an “object”??

So the question is:

What are some examples of objects used in basic PHP websites (not including “shopping cart” type websites)

Thanks!

    Here’s a few basic reusable objects you might have:

    • Session (identified by a cookie, stored server side)
    • User (username, password, etc.)
    • DBConnection (yes, this can be an object)
    • Comment (allow users to comment on things)

    It sounds like you want to start to build your own web framework, which is a decent way to learn. Don’t reinvent the wheel though. For a production site, you’re probably better off using an existing framework.
