Hi there Mac and everyone,

Is anyone trying to code the portfolio using object orientated PHP? I thought I may try, but it's a little complex to translate from procedural to OOP, but it could mean a little less coding. Do we need to use different file names for the classes if we use OOP or could we just put all the classes in functions.php?

Thanks!

Note that the mark is based on your skills as a procedural PHP programmer and not an OOP-programmer.

While you can use OOP, you do not get extra marks because you use it. I would not recommend it. It is a fallacy that OOP results in less code.

In a small project OOPs are useless, but in a huge project... over time they make a difference, provided you know the correct what of creating and using them.

Thanks for everyone, especially Mac's comments. With regards to mysql_query vs mysqli_query? According to the php documentation mysql_ is being discontinued and is being replaced with mysqli_. Which one would be best to use for our project?

Your choice. That said, perhaps better if you start of by using "preparing" yourself, but I would not penalize you. In general terms, servers are not upgraded as soon as a new version of PHP is released - you can add another 3 years, but eventually you will have to upgrade your code.
