version 0.5 Page 129 As I read this book, I keep scratching my head, wondering what's so good about OOP (Object Oriented Programming). The clips example is a case in point. Why write 5 lines of code when you can write just 2, like this? $stockQuote = 'AAPL: $533.25'; echo $stockQuote; I can modularize my procedural code by using includes. So how can all the fuss and bother of OOP be worthwhile? I've read plenty of rationales defending OOP, written by people who studied it in college, but it seems more like a religion to me. Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone. I've read some books on OOP php, and I'm patiently reading through this one, only because I want to take advantage of the code that's automatically generated and tailored to whatever tables I need. But frankly, I will probably write most custom code, queries etc, as procedural php.
