Talk:PHP Programming/Classes

Class & Object
A class in PHP is a group of related functions, also known as an object. I have changed this because an object is not a class, its an instance of a class. So I changed it to A class in PHP is a group of related functions.--Seanor 16:20, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

PHP 5 vs. PHP 4
I'm a bit too new to all of this (php & wikipedia) to know for sure, but I believe the example is only good for PHP version 5. There are a lot of servers still running PHP 4. The difference, as I understand it, is that in PHP 4 you may not distinguish between public, private, and protected data. Perhaps someone with more knowledge/experience can shed some light on the subject. more information is available on php.net http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php & http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php 12.35.126.146 20:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)David H.
