If you develop in PHP, but haven’t yet got your feet wet with OOP, this is the book for you. No previous knowledge of OOP is necessary: Chapter 1 covers the basic theory and explains how OOP fits into PHP; Chapter 2 then goes into the mechanics of writing objectoriented code in PHP. The remaining seven chapters put all the theory into practice, showing you how to create and use your own classes and objects, as well as covering object-oriented features that have been built into core PHP since version 5.


You don’t need to be a PHP expert to follow this book, but you do need to know the basics of writing your own PHP scripts. So, if you’re comfortable with concepts such as variables, loops, and arrays, and have ever created a function, you should be fine.
Throughout the book, I make extensive use of core PHP functions. In some cases, such as with the filter functions in Chapter 4, I go into considerable detail about how they work, because that knowledge is essential to understanding the chapter. Most of the time, though, I explain what the function is for and why I’m using it. If you want a more indepth explanation, I expect you to look it up for yourself in the PHP online documentation
at http://docs.php.net/manual/en/.
The book aims to be a gentle introduction to OOP in PHP, but it moves at a fairly fast pace. The code involved isn’t particularly difficult, but it might take a little more time for some of the concepts to sink in. The best way to achieve this is to roll up your sleeves and start coding.
