Review: PHP‘s simple object model makes it an ideal language for learning about object-oriented (OO) programming. This book teaches OO PHP by doing it. It will appeal to the developer who is familiar with PHP and wants to learn how to use its OO capabilities. It is made up of three sections. The first give an introduction to OOP as implemented in PHP. The next section develops some useful classes that develop the basic syntax and concepts of OOP. Code compatible with PHP 4 and PHP 5 is provided. The rest of the book uses the built-in classes that are only available to PHP 5 – so there is no PHP 4-compatible code.
