There is good script by KKeith
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post951182.html

I want to use it as my base script with some modification. Before I customize it, I want to Make it OOPized into class with functions in functions.php and login+register.phps
Please help me on doing that! I'm intermediate btn newbee and intermediate developer :)
Thanks!

Oh!
Here is the test page I'm using to try do that after I OOPize them

Before I proceed with the main subject of this post, I would like to mention something that I did not have the opportunity to mention in prior posts.<br />
<br />
The PHP Programming Innovation Award that happens every month on the PHPClasses site has a new prize that the winners may pick. It is the VS.PHP add-on. This is an add-on that allows you to use Microsoft Visual Studio as IDE for PHP. It was not developed by Microsoft, but rather by JCXSoftware.<br />

1st off - to 'OOP'ize code, you need to seperate views from the actual code.
2nd - Use a database class, an application class, and a main class.
3rd - Try to find a good templating system. I like phptal, and smarty works well too. You also can just include php files that are html with php variables in it, but no logic, like wordpress.

Thanks for your reply, but I need to understand what you are saying. Please explain to me with grain of salt!

seperate views from the actual code. -->Please explain here what you mean

Basically, when you code, you cannot do this:

<?php
// php code here
?>
<html tag="something">
<?php
// More php code
?>

You would need to have your logic (PHP) in a file when then returns values which you display in a separate file which also handles the layout/visual stull (HTML)

A template system like Smarty will help you do this as it makes it much harder to just add in random PHP.

2nd - Use a database class [Done]
, an application class, and a main class.--> Explain a little, please!

class user would handle ass user functions.
class database would handle database transactions.
You get the idea?

I get it. I see people recommending smarty, but really I see it as mystery. Is there a newbie tutorial? Also back to my question, I see alot of things duplicating themselves in both register.php and login.php. would combining them into function be good idea?

An overview of smarty http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/smarty/.
I like phptal more, and I think it's easier to learn. The handbook / guide on the linked site above provides everything you'll need to use it.
For instance, I'm running http://quiz.codejoust.com/ with this as my index.php file :

<?php

require_once 'phptal.php';
require_once 'Data.class.php';
require_once 'Quizzer.class.php';
 
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
  
$Quizzer = new Quizzer;	
 
 $tpl = new PHPTAL('Templates/layout.xhtml');
      
      /** Start Classes **/
            
      $tpl->Quizzer = $Quizzer;
      $tpl->action = ucwords($Quizzer->action);
      $tpl->loc = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
      
      echo $tpl->execute();

All the logic is in the quizzer class, and I use phptal metal for each page to render an action. The data class is referenced by the quizzer class... and I have a few subclasses in there too (for passing around objects).
I find myself passing around arrays in php, not objects like ruby more because it's a easier way to move information.

In the database class, I have a _construct and a _destruct function, destruct disconnects, and construct checks if there is a static database variable for the class set, if not, it connects to the db.

The methods are such as $this->data->updateQuiz((array) $info) , which are called from the Quizzer class.

I'd use a main layout file, or a header and footer file, including the content in the middle.

What sort of application are you modifying?

I'm Making simple CMS for a site!
I will check that! I need secure Login/Register class. That is why I want to OOPize the one KKeith wrote and learn from there rather than reinverting the wheel.

I'm little busy with work now but when I get little time I will try to mess up with the files to come up with class. Hope Keith will help also:)
