    So, do the coders here code in OOP or procedural style? I code the procedural style because it makes more sense to me. Also, I do not want to relearn OOP style just for the sake of it being a checkmark feature. :p

    I have nothing against people who code in the OOP style though. :)

    PS: The forum I am currently coding was done procedurally. The reason I am asking is because I want to gauge how many people would be able to help me if I release it. :)

    Personal preference, procedural. I'm constantly e-shouted at for not being up to today's standards, but I really dislike the criticism as it doesn't matter to me. No matter how you program, if it works as it is meant to, there should be no problems. It happens when I release scripts, and my friend Jake too, we get people saying our code isn't correct and we use out of date programming methods, but to us, it works, we're releasing a script for free and you're not liking it because of some code, to us that code isn't important, the majority of script users will not be interested in the code, more the functioning of the website. Programmers will program? :)

    I've always learnt it in the procedural way, tbh to me it makes more sense and easier to follow but hey thats me.

    I too started with the procedural site, but loving OOP nowadays.

    I learned procedural PHP but I'm slowly shifting to OOP where it makes sense to use it (eg: stand-alone apps etc - using OOP where it wasn't intended to be used doesn't make sense). I also code in Java so Object Orientation makes a great deal of sense to me and just seems like the best way of doing things.

    I use OOP as much as possible. I used to follow procedural style in beginning.
  7. OOP. It's so much more organised.

    OOP and Procedural have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you are planning for a big time project I would choose OOP method(Through Framework).
