Hey guys and gals and everyone in between or otherwise,

I want to start doing some OOPalicious PHP but I have no idea where to start. I'm decent at non OOPed PHP, written some blogs and other nifty little things here and there, but I feel like I'm just stuck in the 20's or something since I can't do OOP.

Would love any recommendations of nice walkthrough type things to get me started.

Have access to PHP 4.x and 5.x so it doesn't really matter which one it's for.

JAVA is good for quick learning OOP
planty of tutorials + syntax similar to AS

Well I won't be using AS really and don't have much use for Java, I'd prefer something specific to PHP. Thanks for the reply though :)

Well I won't be using AS really
If only you were (senoculars' tutorials).

I'm not much of a PHP buff (or any sort of buff for that matter), but this seems like a good place to start :):

Oh I know about a lot of tutorials, just looking for personal recommendations rather than just a bunch of stuff found through google. Stuff people have used that has worked for them :)

Definitely take a look at www.phppatterns.com

There have been some huge OOP advancements in PHP5 (namely that it now supports OOP!, as opposed to just "Classes")

Sitepoint.com has some great articles about writing OOP code in PHP. Good thing is that now once you learn how to use it in PHP you can transfer the skills to another language quite easily.

yeah if you're using PHP5, you definitely got more OOP going on there... I dont have much else to add other than listen to ironikart :beam:
