which is better ? php oop (object oriented programming) or regular php

[immortality]

hello guys , wanna ask about php oop if it's better to write my code as classes and objects or if the normal method is better??

thank you.

It's all preference.

this is an age-old debate but the truth is they both have their pros and cons. i think we could answer your question more accurately if we knew what you were trying to build. for php, i personally prefer procedural code, or as you put it, the normal method. oop never really made much sense to me in any other language except javascript and python.

Hi,

 

I asked this question on the OOP board and I am going to learn OOP - but I think it depends on the type of site you are building as boo_lolly said.

 

At the moment I use procedural code with functions for reusable code. Once I have got my head around OOP then I will probably use it for big sites I code that reuse a lot of the same code on different pages.

For small sites I will probably still use procedural code.

 

It wouldn't hurt to know both and then make the choice depending on the site you are coding!

 

Just my 2 pence worth!
