With the surge of popularity of PHP 5, and with PHP 6 just around the corner, Object-Oriented Programming is now
an important consideration for PHP developers. This version-neutral book is a gentle introduction to Object-Oriented
Programming (OOP) that wont overburden you with complex theory. It teaches you the essential basics of OOP that
youll need to know before moving onto a more advanced level, and includes a series of pre-packaged scripts that you
can incorporate into your existing sites with the minimum of effort. It shows how OOP can be used to create reusable
and portable code by walking you through a series of simple projects. The projects feature the sorts of things developers
run up against every day, and include a validator for filtering user input, a simple Date class that avoids the need to
remember all the esoteric format codes in PHP, and an XML generator.
