Hi everyone, great to be here. My name's Mark from Leamington Spa near Coventry, Warwickshire, UK - used to live near Bristol. I started with PHP, but my career went more in the direction of digital marketing, SEO, web design, PPC, email marketing etc and only now am I looking at PHP once more. I've been playing with PHP/MySQL for over 15 years, but never actually done enough to be fluent, so I'm here hoping to learn more. I have used PHP a few times a year, but often work with other developers to execute any projects. I've always been more comfortable with procedural, but feel I need to get much more comfortable with object oriented PHP. Am I the only one scared of OOP?

Hope your week's been great so far.

Hey Mark. OOP can be scary initially, but I feel like once the understanding is there, it can the coding experience much easier.
