In my opinion, I just can't stand any program or web app designed complexly (5000 lines of code should be the ceiling - not the more functions the better). So it is difficult to accept that object-oriented theory makes simple problems systematic, templated or even complicated (please don't mind my stubborn). But, overall, good things inevitably are good without a doubt in a certain period.

About the advantages of object-oriented and its applications in PHP, Object-Oriented PHP (OOPHP for short) will show all of them to you fully and furthest in its 210+ pages of condensed content. After reading, you will be able to master all the essential basic knowledge of object-oriented programming in PHP, which means you have enough ability to dig into the more advanced researches in PHP Object Oriented technology.
