class iPokemon {
public $pokemon;
function __construct($new){
$this->pokemon = $new;
}
function wildPokemon(){
return $this->pokemon;
}
}
$pikachu = new iPokemon("Pikachu");
echo $pikachu->wildPokemon();
Isn't that OOP xcessive?  |

Isn't that OOP xcessive? Yes, but $pokemon should be private. You can have public properties in OOP, but in this case you are using a getter to return a copy of $pokemon's value (assuming it's a primitive and not a reference to an object) which implies you want it hidden from the outside world. Basically, there is no point in having a getter function if the variable is going to be public because the outside world can access it directly (which is usually not what you want). One of the key ideas behind OOP is being able to have properties and methods that aren't known to the outside world. Only the object needs to know about its internals, and the outside world can simply create an instance of the class and use it without having to know how it works. This becomes more and more important when you are working on large projects that involve many programmers. For example, say you want to create two threads in your program. In a language such as Java, this is very simple. // Create Threads Thread thread1 = new Thread(...); Thread thread2 = new Thread(...); // Start Threads thread1.start(); thread2.start(); You don't have to know about all the internals to utilize the thread class. ( xcessive - Yes, you have to either implement the Runnable interface or extend the Thread class, but I'm trying to use this as an example). |

Well, going off what xcessive had, I was just making another version. Yes, it could be private, and perhaps protected if it doesn't want to be called by the outside world.

Protected is a completely different thing - its a package based type. What you did shows one aspect of OOP basics, and yes, its correct so you are getting the idea I guess. I suggest you read Jordan's post carefully though because he gave a very concise and /good/ explanation of what you need to understand to use objects/classes effectively - data hiding. One you grasp that inheritance and polymorphism make more sense, and those three combined make OOP. |

Lol, thread takeover ftw. It isn't that hard after, as the above has stated, the hidden variables that are modified by the script itself. Your usersystem, upon reading over it, was very good for how much experience you have. -never posted this, just PM'd this to you-

Update**
There hasn't been an update on this thing for a while, or any posts, so here's an update on what I am doing with this thing:
I have decided to edit it, to make it better but not completely recode it, and I am also going to make a forum system, with this usersystem in it (:
