chantown Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well, I'm learning to write a forum/CMS myself, and that is why I am reading Design patterns, OOP PHP. But i opened up the phpBB forum code, and I see that it doesn't uses "classes" at all. It has a folder called includes, and in it are tons of functions. The question is: 1. Why does it NOT use oop? (back version compatability, no need to use it???) 2. Is a forum/CMS generally OOP-intensive 3. How deep should I use OOP in an *enterprise-level* forum/CMS? Should the word "class" fill up everywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken2k7 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 1. Why don't you ask the person who created phpBB? I mean how would we know. It's up to the programmer. 2. Well the ones like IPB and vB I know are. 3. Up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKunKbad Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 phpBB, especially with MODs, is awesome the way it is. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
