Hello all, i am Jon from the UK (England)
I have been using PHP for a couple of years now (and HTML/CSS for near on 20 years).
I started with procedural techniques initially, but now try to use a more OOP style which i can cope with OK.
However i am not to sure i user OOP correctly or if i am using them more just as groups of methods with a little more power than functions (to basically neaten things up, keep code out of the HTML and to save on repeating code).
I have a large project for a site that is large to start with and will constantly grow, so i'm looking to get this right first time with full OOP. (i am doing a full rebuild of this site from asp/MS-SQL to php/MySQL).
i am not sure what, if any, OOP patterns i am using. My own "way" makes sense to me, but im not sure if it follows any standard patterns or if it would be better to do...
(again i don't use any frameworks, at present they seem over complicated but that is probably due to my failings in understanding...)
Anyway i joined here to help me learn and understand, and will also help others if i am able to.
Jon
