The lightbulb has yet to go on for this...
I'd really love an easy to understand explanation of the advantage to using a class in php over just using functions.
Here's a simple example of the thought I'm having now and am wondering if a class is more efficient:
Say I have a mini calendar widget that I've built in php. I'm thinking about calling the function miniCal('arrayVars1', 'var2')
. But I might do it twice on that page. Do use fewer resources by using a class here, create new instances of it?
What tree should I be barking up here, because I feel like right now the tree is a brick wall...
