PHP Classes

June 24, 2004 Posted by mitch | projects, website | 0 Comments

I'm finally breaking down and going to really learn php classes. I've found that in order to duplicate how this site works for my own needs, I'm going to have to learn classes. That way I can seamlessly use smarty for templates, and somehow implement a plugin system so I can create a base Authentication, User Administration, Site Administration, and Themes, and then be able to plug in different "sites" into that framework without much trouble. I might eventually release the source for it, as I don't believe there are many frameworks that are simple. They all try to implement some type of api to plug into... Where I think mine (atleast will start out this way) won't have one really... just have to include a different class, and add it to the main navigation links... Anyway, those are some thoughts, i will keep this updated with my progress.
