simple explanation PHP OOP vs Procedural?

Viewed 82241

I would like to learn PHP and want to get an Idea about OOP and Procedural. I read some other blogs and tutorials about OOP vs Procedural but I still can't understand the approach.

OOP vs Procedural

  1. Which I should learn?
  2. What is the difference in code? What are the effects?
  3. How can a PHP framework help in OOP aproach? (I would like to learn CodeIgniter)
  4. Does procedural need a Framework?

I really want to know the code difference of the both, my understanding of OOP is you create a class like and it can be access. (I don't know if that is correct).

Trying to OOP everything in PHP makes it confusing and look complicated. Better stick to procedural syntax for builtin functions and OOP for packages and libraries.
