Object Oriented Programming is usually used the kind of programming that you find in video games, robotic engineering... even desktop interfaces... so it's hard to imagine how you could use something like an 'object' when working with a website but the truth is that there are a lot of advantages to it. By learning how they work, hopefully you'll learn how and why they should be used in your code.

So you've mastered the variables, made some functions and have files included where you need them... but now you want to add the date to your page. PHP comes with some premade functions which do a lot of the work for us but you'll find that once you go beyond simply displaying today's date, it can get very complicated very fast. Especially if you're trying to deal with dates that look like this: 1255974167
I am going to show you a few things to help take some of the complexity out of it.

Some argue that this topic is more for intermediate PHP developers as there is a lot to it, but I beg to differ. I think you're ready and because you are ready, I want to teach you about functions. They are extremely powerful and what's more, will be the stepping stone that leads to you doing Object Oriented Programming. Sound scary? Don't worry, if I can do it, so can you.

Have you ever wished that you could just make one header, with a logo and menu and just have it be in one file and just include that file in all of your HTML files? So that when you make a change to the menu, you can do it just one time instead of hundreds of times? Imagine a typo, and having to fix that in all of your HTML files. Frustrating!
PHP's answer to this comes in the form of includes and requires. There are a few ways they can be used and couple subtle differences.

Most PHP tutorials start out by telling you it's origins, what year it was created, who was around for it and how it's grown over the years. But none of that will help you build the next great web application and so either you can go find another tutorial which will explain that stuff, or you can read on and start learning some PHP basics right away.
