In short, Polymorphism is a feature exposed by certain objects that belong to the same family, which eventually can behave differently, even when they're using identical methods. Or more clearly, an object can be considered polymorphic when it's capable of performing different actions by utilizing the same method.

This time they focus on web page development that uses this object-oriented practice. The create a WebPageElement that you can ID and class attributes on and use it to create HTML widgets and extend them to create Div and Link element.

I realise I haven't thrown my PHP readers a bone for a while. Lately, unfortunately, all my experience has been with how not to do things. Some of this has been my own fault, but a really healthy percentage has come because I am maintaining one horrible project and rewriting another even more horrid. So, a few pointers for you l3et coders out there: Don't do any of this stuff.

Items on the list include less than thought out design and a lack of knowledge about how to properly use a database.]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2005 07:02:22 -0600
