4. Quick Start steps

To implement a project in object oriented PHP do -

• First you need connection to database sql servers - use one of these:
  • ADODB (Active Data Objects Data Base) http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB
  • Metabase (Database independent access and management) http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/20

• Second you need generic PHP classes to create forms, tables and other HTML objects. Get these from PHP classes at http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com. See also the Top downloaded classes from Top PHP classes And visit http://www.phpclasses.com. And see Form classes, template classes at the site corporate Intranet/Internet

• Third, design and create your own PHP classes by inheriting from the generic PHP classes or http://www.phpclasses.com.

• Fourth, use the template classes to seperate the presentation from business logic, see http://www.phpclasses.com.

• Fifth, use IDE tools from PHP IDE

• Most of your PHP code should be in classes for easy code maintainence and re-usability.
