lilman Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I am looking to master OOP, and looking for an approachable OOP book. I know PHP but would not say I am an advance PHP programmer. I want a basic introductory book that would get me familiar with PHP OOP. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hypnos Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 OOP had me scratching my head, even after a lot of reading. But once you start using it, it clicks.All the books I have explain the basics of classes in about 2 pages. If you try to just keep reading past that without understanding the basics and actually using it, you will only find yourself confused.PHP Freaks has a tutorial on it, which is good at explaining it, but I don't think the examples are very good.http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/48/0.phpTo answer your question though, out of my books, I like the OOP chapter in "Advanced PHP Programming" by George Schlossnagle. The examples are easy to understand, yet they don't skimp on showing what classes really do.http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-PHP-Programming-George-Schlossnagle/dp/0672325616/sr=8-2/qid=1168111342/ref=sr_1_2/105-0821524-7055609?ie=UTF8&s=books Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33120-looking-for-a-good-book-on-oop-for-php/#findComment-154322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
