Why should we use Object oriented concepts in php ?

1. Object oriented PHP code is much more reusable because by its' very nature, it is modular.

2. Object oriented PHP is easier to update. Again, because PHP code is organised into objects.

3. Object oriented PHP makes team programming much easier to manage.

4. Object oriented PHP makes larger projects much easier to manage.

5. Object oriented PHP makes creating code libraries much easier.

6. Knowing Object oriented PHP will make working with many opensource PHP libraries much easier. For example: projects like PEAR and the Zend Framework are built using Object oriented PHP.

7. Object oriented PHP programmers typically make more money and will be able to work on more projects.

8. Since object oriented concepts are the same in all Object oriented languages, once you learn Object oriented programing in PHP, you will also have a good understanding of several other languages including:

a. Ruby
b. Java
c. C#
d. Actionscript
…among several other languages.
