I used to think the same thing until I started using an OO approach to development (quite some years ago) and I have to admit I won't ever revert back to the "a hundred different functions spread over stacks of include files just to get things done" approach. OO doesn't make your code faster, it makes it *neater* and more intelligible. It also makes development time heck of a lot faster. Perhaps one approach to this would be to post an example of one of your scripts (not necessarily the source, more an overview) and then let someone explain how one OO approach might be to it. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
