OO PHP Explanation for a braindead n00b
Just started learning/playing with creating classes in PHP and I’m wondering what pain do they solve? It seems like I can get the same job done with just a collection of functions that I include into the file. So my question is: Why should I use classes?
It’s a way to view your code in a more intuitive, real-world way. (You package the data and all possible operations on that data together.) It also encourages encapsulation, abstraction, data hiding… What you’re really looking for is the advantages of OOP.
