requinix Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 If you try MVC then one of two things will happen: 1. It will click with you and your code will start looking better. 2. You'll continue with your messy practices but in a whole new way. A mess how? Try cleaning that up first with what you write now before trying to learn something new.

trq Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 You can create applications using MVC without using OOP, it's just not as clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignace Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If your after code organisation, you could do far worse than learning OOP. so what do you suggest and any recommendations for frameworks? Zend's framework 2.0, Symfony 2, and also try Proem (thorpe's framework). Personally I'm more of a component freak myself so you may want to try these aswell: Doctrine 2 (db), Symfony components (good for Routing, Config, Autoloading, ..): it also has an HttpFoundation, translated this means that you can write your own bootstrap code and decide whether you'll route to an action in a controller (the default setting for most frameworks)?, a class?, a php file?, a closure? (I like this kind of flexibility even when I'll never need it ) Twig: because I hate Smarty. I have a few personal projects to get my feet wet with all the above frameworks and I mostly mix them all: use Zend's routing, Symfony's autoloading, Twig for templating, Doctrine for database, ..

trq Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 also try Proem (thorpe's framework) I wouldn't go near that yet. Still plenty of work to be done. (I really should remove it from my sig) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassey071 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 MVC is good. its OOP for me its more organize than the procedural but it depend on how your code more organize., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jotorres1 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi, Unless you are planning to stay in the stone-age, I suggest you go the OOP route. Eventually everything will be translating the OOP due to its' organizational structure, and usability- re-usability of code. If you yourself acknowledge that you have messy code, then you should consider organizing it, and OOP can help. In the end, you will love yourself for making the change, since maintaining it will be a lot easier. Let us know what ever you do. BTW I'm new to the forum.
