Hello all at WebmasterWorld!
I need to get guidance, I have being learning OOP now for about a year (thanks to Eelixduppy, Coopster & Rocknbil for direction) but I find my self understanding the concepts but not structures - can anyone recommend a decent starting point for a book that can help me on understanding frameworks and structures, as the project I am embarking on has the potential to be huge, and kinda daunting, it's an intranet site for internal use at work, but me being me, I want it done correctly, as they are offering incentive on a good system upon completion!
The only thing as I like to do, rather than let the user define settings after class instantiation is to use __construct() to 'import' user settings from a specific file during runtime, if the expected values are not filled in the system reverts to defaults... Is this a good way or are there better ways to do this?
But my fear is: when does a class become too big? Is there a limit to file size? Or am I looking for problems that aren't there?
Also importing methods from other classes, debugging mechanisms, is this a 'good practise' thing to do?
Any advice pointers or alternatives, greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
MRb
