Modules in php

[phpserver]

What if i wanted to add some features like video support,maps support to my website at a latter date?I have heard you would need modules.I have seen modules work in phpizabi and a concept to practically similar to that exercised in joomla in form of components.How can i make a module work for me.

I think you need to be less vague.

1. Object oriented programming

2. Interface for a module

3. Write the rest of your code dependent on the behaviour of that interface, rather than the behaviour of any specific implementation of that interface (ie. a module)

Are you looking to write a modular framework yourself? Or are you just curious to know how to write a module/component for a framework that already exists (and that you use) ?

[alexweber15]

do you mean "extensions" maybe?

 

as in stuff that adds additional functionality to the PHP core, like SimpleXML, Mysqli and whatnot?

 

if not then you probably mean frameworks... either way hotscripts is a good place to start looking, there's a lot of already made classes and stuff for creating video galleries and stuff like that
