Re: 5 Reasons Why Use Object Oriented Programming (OOP) in PHP

In the end your OOP code was longer than than the original. So much from the "self-proclaimed advanced developer"?

I have to disagree with a lot of this.

"Professional programmers are avoiding these types of variables now. Because it is really not really a good practice."

I'm not sure what to say about this, because it simply is not true. Good luck implementing anything without the use of primitive types. They are primitive for a reason.

"It’s much easier in implementing security"

OOP does not make implementing security easier. The code you demonstrated there can be done with or without OOP. Your concern seems to be in repetition of code. Wrap the code in a function. There is no need to encapsulate this into a class. Your first mistake in security would also be filtering the input. Blacklisting is not the way to go in validating your input.

"It makes the coding more organized"

Not true. When used improperly, OOP will increase the number of components in the code. More components means higher complexity, which means less predictability. Also consider inheritance. You've created a hierarchy that may not even be necessary. It also sometimes seems a bit silly to have to dig through base classes to find base implementations of virtual functions. Depending on the language, the child class may not even specify if the function is being overriden or not (C++ for example does not do this). Multiple inheritance? Say hello to function ambiguity.

"It helps your team to work with each other easily"

This is not something that can be solved by OOP. This is an issue with your team and documentation. Consider the fact that it is still possible for two different programmers on the team to come up with similar class or object names.

"Using OOP can help you work like your brains are in a LAN connection."

Our brains do not think in an object oriented manner, so this is not true. By nature, we think procedurally. As a programmer, you may start to think in an object oriented manner, but that is only because you have trained yourself over time to do so.

'this' does not represent the class. It represents a particular instance of the class. Please don't call out someone on not being a "real" programmer when you can't get things straight yourself.

Thank you for your reply fadgebadger,

I had to agree that yes I can be code with or without OOP. But the question here is it more efficient and team collaboration friendly than using OOP? The answer is NO.

As for usual team programmers, the usual team consist of two kinds: backend and frontend. front end usually develops the UI and the backend develops all the server process codes.

So the next question is, is it possible for a procedural programming to interconnect harmoniously with the two kinds of programmers? NO.

How are you going to interact with the frontend programmers if they request a result from SQL (ex: employee's full info) if you don't use Objects? Without methods? Implementations? Classes? Also, how do you define good programmers that uses procedural?

Yes I agree that not every web needs OOP procedures BUT if you want to make it more extensible, expandable and manageable, there is no other way but to use procedures like OOP. And those kinds of procedures makes the team more efficient and more organized.

While its the programmers choice weather to use OOPs or not. Yet its easy for you to manage your codes and your codes alone, but it isn't an option on a team collaborative programming.

Whilst I respect your reply I have personally built some incredibly large applications with procedural code with no issues. Well organised code is key, and this can be done procedural by good developers. OOP has it's place but not in every web application. A good programmer should know when to deem it necessary to code in either OOP or procedural, dependent on the project.

Hello Vortex,
Have you ever tried using any Framework like CodeIgniter? Those codes run on something similar like this. In large IT companies, we strictly use OOPs and frameworks are like our best friend. It seems to me that you haven't built any big applications. I know its easier to understand if its like 5 lines of code. Of course, its obvious that using OOP would be terrible if the code is just like that.

The problem with PHP is that everyone can code without fully understanding the concept of PROGRAMMING. As for myself, I code in Java. So Procedural programming is impossible. Have you tried building something more complex like a forum? social networking? Have you ever tried working with a team? Handling Database Tables and converting them to models(OOPs)? I don't want to be harsh but for your own sake, please try understanding Software Engineering more and you will unlock more potential and make things more easier.

As for $this (this), in ANY programming languages, it automatically represents the CLASS when coding inside any statements (Any REAL programmer would know). But if you want and this bothers you, you can simply just use $x = $this; its just the same anyway.

Your arguments and the code you present completely destroy your arguments. What is easier to read and code? Procedural coding, every damn time! What does $this->Mars = "Hello Mars!" even mean? Hell if I know! What the hell is $this? Why not simply use $x = "Hello Mars!" You don't have to try and figure out what $this is! I hate, hate, hate to death Object Oriented Programming because it make no immediate sense, while procedural programming always does. And what the hell is with "public" and "private" and whatever else there is words in the code? Can you tell by immediately looking at it? Absolutely not! OOP is simply junk code that makes things a hundred times more difficult.

PHP runs on server.
PHP runs for every page (in standard scenario)
It make sense to make PHP code as short and as simple as possible, to make web page run faster.
OOP is cool, but it takes additional resources.
I prefer OOP in compiler not web languages.

Re: Using query_post()

Ven Francis — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:41:21 -0000

If you use query_posts within a template page, WordPress will have already executed the database query and retrieved the records by the time it gets to your template page (that’s how it knew which template page to serve up!). So when you over-ride the default query with query_posts(), you’re essentially throwing away the default query and its results and re-executing another query against the database.

you can do same stuff without OOP look this:
in a file named: common.php we write this:
$planetWorld = "Hello world!";
$planetMars = "Hello Mars!";
$planetVenus = "Hello Venus!";
$planetJupiter = "Hello Jupiter!";

then in the main file and all others just:
include "common.php";
echo $plantMars;
echo $plantWorld;
echo $plantVenus;
echo $plantJupiter;

----------------------------------------------------------------
as you can see no OOP is shorter than OOP.
Conclusion: OOP is a religion, and not the only way to do....Choose your religion (the best paid IRL) and go on.

ahahah very funny! with OP you reduce your code by 99.9% but at end your comparation example was much longer in OOP.

LOL you're very funny guy!

OOP is not a sience, is a way to think. You can done a perfect code with and without OOP.

This is the only truth!

Image optimization is very important for any blog or website. Optimized images results in faster websites as well as meaningful representations.Images are normally a major component of any site. Optimization of images is not only the size of images but also the proper use of tags.Good to read your post.
