Can anyone explain the benefits of OOP, pref with its usage in php, but if you can give me a breif rundown of its usage in c++ or some other language, it will probably be the same concept!

THX!

[/i]I know, I know.... but I have an acronym addiction, and this fed right into it.  

The only Object Oriented stuff I know is in Visual FoxPro, and I still prefer doing things with straight up linear code.  The object oriented stuff kinda gives me a headache after a while... I'm always feeling like I'm forgetting something, and I usually am.

Can PHP actually handle OOP?

OOP is basically creating objects and classes so they can be re-used over and over again without changing the code.  It's a little more complex than that, but that's the basic idea.

php can handle OOP very well, when i was coding my backend i found no point to making classes or objects as opposed to straight through coding
