Standard Expression, or Object Oriented?

[runthis]

What do you deal with the most on a daily basis?

[US Vice]

Procedural.

[a_bertrand]

With PHP I mainly develop in a procedural way. But day to day I mainly use C# where I work exclusively in OO

[Dominion]

In PHP mainly procedural, but I have just stated a small project that is going to require me using a OOP style. I feel it's important to understand both styles for anyone mainly involved with PHP.

I mainly use OOP with PHP now-a-days on my own projects. Some of my projects are outdated and over 5,000 lines of code, so I got to use procedure when updating.

Most freelance work requires me working with procedure coding too. If starting a freelance project from scratch, I use OOP.

[Lee Mason]

Mainly OOP for me.

[runthis]

when creating from scratch. I am OOP all the way, although like SIM said, i got old projects like forums/games that were strict procedural. On a client basis i find myself mostly solving improper linking, paypal buttons. If a client does use OOP they usually are smarty templated

[Sim]

Smarty rules!! I been using smarty for years.

[Danny696]

Smarty sucks.

I use procedural, PHP isnt to OO friendly as of yet, but I do hope in the coming versions it becomes more OO, then I will start using it.

Smarty sucks.

I completely agree

I am sure if i really gave it an honest go i might like it, but its downsides trample its upsides.

So many downsides.

OO is pretty good in php now

What i use oop for is keeping the php sortove seperate, plus you know exactly where to go when theres an issue and if you tab right, you'll have a very easy to read code.

with classes and functions you can make static things as well, you can use the same random number on the same page and get a different number, or the same query call a different value, theres a bunch of reasons why if your not to familiar, try and get into it, everyone knows procedural.

hmm? .

[Mufasa]

OO all the way. Best way to have modular and expandable code IMO (unless it's like a cron or something)
