    Learning Programmer

Hi. I've recently spent some time learning php. I then tried to create my own website but after a while the code was getting very disorganized and confusing and I was getting overwhelmed. Because of this, I took a month break from it and followed some tutorials to learn how to create flash games. Anyway, I figure it's time I should be getting back to the website, but before I do, I thought I would learn object oriented programming to help me organize my code better. I already watched the oop tutorial on lynda.com, but that still left me confused. I was able to learn the basic oop syntax from the tutorial, but I still need to figure out how to take my current code and divide it into classes and organize more effectively in general. Could anybody recommend a good source?

OOP will not magically make your code organized. It just gives you another way to organize your code. It's also possible that most of your code should NOT be divided into classes.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

This is one of my favorite books for PHP: Amazon.com: PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice, Second Edition (9781590599099): Matt Zandstra: Books

I'd suggest reading through it or finding a similar book. What is your learning style?
