PHP OOP and Debuggers
 

See poll, do you use OOP with PHP5? With my limited experience, it feels like it would making debugging harder with a performance hit :uhoh What's your opinion?

Also, please comment on which debugger you use, if any. I'm looking into purchasing PHPEd.

Im still trying to get the hang of 4 - thats the problem with open source - you just start getting the hang of it and the bastads bring out a new version.

Damn that free software!!

Bump.....

whats does oop have to do with a php version???????

The problem with open source
 

What the..? First public beta of PHP 4 was released, let's see... over 6 YEARS ago. Don't wanna call you a slow learner, but..

As for OOP, I use it with both 4 & 5. Even though there's a slight performance hit, I'd say the huge increase in code manageability & reusability is almost always worth it. If performance is your biggest concern, it might be a good move to go with C or such anyway.

IMOP, using OOP techniques makes debugging and code readability much easier and there are many articles stating that the limited performance hit is worth it.

However, there's probably many articles saying things to refute that as well.

Guess it comes down to what [em]you[/em] think and how you code.

I remember having to sift through a former coworker's code who didn't use OOP and it was a nightmare. I remember having coworkers who don't know OOP having to sift through my code, and it was a nightmare for them.
