Object oriented programming with php by kevin waterson. Oop was first invented for the purpose of physical modelling in the simula-67. Whilst there is no hard and fast definition of what object oriented programming (oop) is, we can define. So lets just use this loose definition for now and it is left to reader to make up their own minds about what a decent definition is. Object oriented programming (oop) is a programming concept that treats functions and data as objects. Ok, not the best definition but gives us an opening. As we progress through this tutorial we will see how data and functions can be represented as re-usable objects, thus cutting down on code and time. Simply put, an oject is a bunch of variables and functions all lumped into a single entity. The object can then be called rather than calling the variables or functions themselves. Within an object there are methods and properties.
