these are d questions...pls explain 2 me
1) d function of implode
2) essence of __construct
3) function of $this
4) function of getInstance

do you know about php.net?

1) how to use implode, http://php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php

2) __construct is a constructor, if you don't know OOP, then I urge you to get a good book. A constructor is automatically called by the system every time an object is instantiated. I hope you know what an object and instantiation is. But if you don't, PHP classes & Objects are defined here. http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php I will yet again urge you to work through a book.

3) $this is used to refer to the current object, within the object's methods.

4) getInstance is not built into php, but a way to get an instance of a class is to instantiate one, using the new keyword, this is common to most OOP languages. You will usually find a getInstance method used within a design pattern.

just Learn it...seems hard at first tho...u will soon get it

OOP php ain't esy to come to terms with Bro. I remember when I journeyed through that wilderness, but with determination, you'll pass (Halllalujah Somborii! ).

Seriously though, it's the way forward and I seriously doubt that there are many popular php scripts that aren't written (at least in part ) In OOP

You're certainly free to take the procedural route. After all, PHP is really a procedural language. However, if you're looking long-term, some familiarity with OOP is advisable. Even more so, with the introduction of PDO, it is likely that mysqli will be deprecated soon enough. The key is to not rush your learning process. Take it a project at a time. For instance, your entire PHP code can be procedural, but you can mix a little bit of OOP in here and there as you learn it and as it seems fit.

A starting point for mixing would be to use PDO for your database connection but keep the rest of your PHP code normal (a.k.a procedural).
