Vote and enjoy, motherflippa’s!

Last week, whilst sitting in the cinema watching and enjoying the hell out of a movie (which shall remain nameless at this juncture for fear of giving the game away too early) I thought to myself “this has got to be one of the best films of 2010 so far”.

I know what you’re thinking. How’s that even possible? How can this game possibly be more awesome that Batman: Arkham Asylum?

Inheritance

The second part in my series of OOP in PHP tutorials will focus on OOP Inheritance. In this tutorial I will explain what OOP Inheritance is, how to use it and what benefits it can provide using a real-world and entirely understand example to illustrate my words.

Before we continue, this tutorial is written with the assumption that you have a basic knowledge of PHP and have read my previous tutorial – Basic OOP in PHP Part One.
