Hi, I’m a long time reader / first time poster; so here goes:

Some information:

I’m currently attempting to write a blog system using OO PHP. I have two tables in a MySQL database - ‘blogentries’ and ‘comments’. Each comment has a foreign key ‘post\_id’ which links to the ‘id’ primary key in the ‘blogentries’ table.

My problem:

I assume I need at least a ‘blog entry’ object and a ‘comment’ object. I’ve had a go at writing some code, but found myself creating a new ‘main’ class and basically writing procedurally. I know in my gut I’m doing things wrong (or at least, not OO) and I’d like some help identifying what objects would be present in a blog system and what their functionality would be.

I’ve read through the most excellent tutorials on this site, including the ‘Introduction to OOP using PHP’. I guess some nice pseudo code would help me a lot!

Thanks in advance,  
David
