The simpler object model of PHP makes it the ideal language for an introduction to object-oriented programming. For the uninitiated, this guide to the latest version of PHP offers a speedy introduction to object-oriented programming, including a thorough explanantion of class as well as coverage of constructors, destructors, inheritance, polymorphism and interfaces. In this easy to follow guide, the author teaches by example, and couples new concepts with snippets of example code (which are available for download from the book’s companion website). With Object-Oriented PHP, you’ll learn to: • Promote code reuse by creating your own classes and using built-in classes • Customize and improve classes through inheritance • Simplify database access by developing MySQL database and result set classes • Incorporate an RSS reader into your site using only four lines of code • Use XML easily with an object-oriented approach • Employ PHP to autogenerate documentation for your code • Make thumbnail images on the fly • Replace clumsy error trapping with Exception handling • Take full advantage of advanced OO features in PHP Object-Oriented PHP will show you how to maximize PHP’s features, with much less work than you might think. With Object-Oriented PHP, you can master the basics of OOP and get up to speed on PHP in one fell swoop.
