in thread How do I go from procedural to object oriented programming?

And the final shift necessary to think in Object-Oriented terms: Methods.

When you defined your Moviesclass, you would also have put in subroutines to perform tasks. Simple ones like setTitle , setMedia, that sort of thing. And more. Again, I leave it to the OO-savvy folks to get you details. This is about the shift in consciousness. About how to think in an object-oriented manner.

But you'll invoke those methods with a syntax something like this:

     $movies->setMedia("tv");

You've no doubt seen this sort of thing in your use of modules. Hopefully, now you see why.

There's a ton of stuff to learn regarding inheritence, but I'd let that go at first and let the lessons come as they are needed.

Only one step left in our journey -- which we have already taken, but now will describe: Instances.
