Bring on the other OOP tutorials. These are the best I have found on the net, and I've been searching high and low for quality tutorials that aren't rehashed and cloned versions.

I think getting into the in's and out's of the various concepts and applications of OOP PHP would prove invaluable, and book worthy (I'd buy it!).

In my opinion, when you will develop the functionality of the system using plug-ins (as is done in WordPress), it is better to use the spl_autoload_register(), because it can happen that some plug-in is already using __autoloader()... Well, then you can have a problem

@tbolton: Thank you so much I'll definitely look at writing more PHP OOP tutorials, since there seems to be a lot of demand for them.

I do cover OOP in my PHP book (shameless plug!) - I go through pretty much the same topics that I've covered in the 4 tutorials so far, but in a bit more depth:

There are also code examples throughout the book that show OOP in action.

@th3mon: Good point, yes. spl_autoload_register() lets you register multiple autoload functions in a stack, which is handy if you're working with libraries or frameworks that have their own autoloaders:

Matt Doyle - How does your book compare to this: http://amzn.to/r1eyVl - I dnt wanna buy one and miss out from the other.

I willm if you say yours is better buy yours. However I am a new starter and asking for your honest opinion of what you think would benefit me more.

@mpetherbridge: I haven't read that book so I've no idea! It looks like it covers object-oriented programming in PHP - that's about all I can say.

My book covers OOP but it also covers many other aspects of PHP. If you're a PHP beginner then I'd certainly recommend checking it out. You can see some of the book content on Amazon:

Cheers,

Thank you very much, for now, it is the best PHP OOP tutorials i can find on the net. It will be nice if you continue this tutorial, especially about pattern and Late static bindings. And once again, thank you very much.

@m_goku: Thanks for the feedback! I might write a tutorial on those topics if there's enough demand.
