A bit away from your OO question, but IMHO, such function good in
terms of rapid coding but bad  if you ever get a graphic/web designer
to redo your designs 'cause he or she will be all (!!) at your php
code.

[PHP] When to make a class

2005-11-26 Thread Todd Cary 
My background is in Object Oriented Pascal (Delphi), however I am having 
 difficulty knowing when to make a class in PHP.  For instance, in my 
script file, functions.php, I have these functions among others:


  /* Input a field */
  function input_field($name, $value, $size, $max) {
echo('INPUT TYPE=text NAME=' . $name . ' VALUE=' . $value .
 ' SIZE=' . $size . ' MAXLENGTH=' . $max . '');
  };

  /* Input a password field */
  function input_password_field($name, $value, $size, $max) {
echo('INPUT TYPE=password NAME=' . $name . ' VALUE=' . $value .
 ' SIZE=' . $size . ' MAXLENGTH=' . $max . '');
  };


Should I have a class that contains these functions (methods)?

One of my non-profit clients would like to have an online emailer 
program driven by a MySQL database.  This I can envision as a class, 
actually several classes (e.g. send mail, create message, select 
addresses, etc.).
