Classes/Objects

I hope this isn't asking too much but here goes:

Can someone explain to me in a simple way on how to use classes, and --
more importantly -- WHY to use them?

I'm not a complete rookie to PHP, but I've never really understood classes.

Please help.

TIA,
Jay

Can someone explain to me in a simple way on how to use classes,
Read the PHP Manual: http://www.php.net/oop
and -- more importantly -- WHY to use them?


In short, because (or, actually, if) you believe in superior power of
object-oriented approach to programming.

Cheers,
