Worth learning OOP?

[iTech]

I'd say it is.

As Caleb has mentioned, it's a whole new technique and as Simon also said.
Just like AJAX to Javascript.

Anyways, dont learn, but code in OOP, much easier. (crap advice just to stay on topic)

Caleb went through some of the simple things with me with them and I must say it not only gives you a more structured end result, but it speeds up the whole coding time, as do using functions compared to the old school out of function way.

They are really simple when you actually see how they work.

If your wanting to write a large script - eg a forum, then you really must use OOP otherwise your code will be messy and all over the place.

So yes, its something every PHP coder must know. The php article on OOP is a great place to start.
