it is me again guys
i already started a web project using PHP, i want to take your advice regarding the best way of programming in PHP, should i adopt Procedural PHP or Object Oriented PHP??
my previous experience was with J2EE, and i was adopting OOP all the time, but i do not know why i feel not comfortable using OOP way in PHP ??your advice please ?
-
OOP is not necessary. What framework are you using is far, far more important.
-
sorry, but what framework are you referring to, if you mean view, i use bootstrap and jquery, if you mean data modeling framework, ido not use any framework, if you know a framework that facilitate database manipulation please tell me, because so far i connect to the DB in each query
-
before when i was using J2EE, i was using a nice framework called EJB that convert all DB table into classes and generate all necessary methods for each class, it was like DB mapping table -class, if you know anything similar please inform me
thanks

J2EE and EJB are frameworks in a very cursory sense. I'm talking about your MVC framework, like CakePHP or similar.

ok thanks, i will take a look over CakePHP,
so no need to use OOP right ?? -

I'm not recommending CakePHP, I'm not a PHP guy so don't know what is the good options versus the names that I know. CakePHP is relatively popular in the space and a place to look. But don't choose it because I mentioned it, just start investigating there. PHP has a lot of frameworks that are good. Ruby and Python have one main framework that dominates their space and becomes the obvious thing to learn (Rails and Django) but even there it is not a foregone conclusion. PHP lacks this and has lots of smaller potential players.
This is an advantage to Ruby, most people simply choose Ruby on Rails and convention dictates everything that they do.

i think this framework will make things complex for me, right now i'm using ajax and json to retrieve data from my DB without refreshing the page, i think i'm ok with my current method, cuz this framwork will take time from me to learn
-
I've never really been able to get my head wrapped around the MVC model of programming -- at least not as most of the Frameworks operate.

For PHP, there are several... CakePHP and Symfony are two that I am aware of.

please i need your advice, i'm working on a PHP project right now,I tend to write my code.. I'll have a php file for functions that I use a lot, and a library that I can use for handling various things like databases, etc.
Then I write the logic (PHP) and HTML in one file. So if I have a form that writes to a database, the form will be an HTML file, and will be styled with CSS, jQuery for Javascript stuff... Then the bits that actually write to the database will be just a PHP page that only writes to the database.

Oh, fun! Last time I built one of those was in Access 97, lol. (Whatever the one before Office 2003 was).
-
For database connection , did you connect each time to DB or you using a persistance framework ??
-
I haven't used a MySQL library like that in a while, so I'm going to assume that it was a connection each time. If I'm not mistaken, PHP will keep MySQL sessions open briefly after your query is done.

Are you going to cache database information on the client?

I am, however, using ReadBeanPHP (http://www.redbeanphp.com/) as my Database library these days... It seems to work well, and from what I can gather it does not use Persistent connections either.
