OO PHP Help

I need some help learning Object Oriented PHP, and I am the type to learn from examples, so I was wondering if one of you kind gentleman could rewrite this file so that is OO.


$data['uname'] = "root";
$data['paswd'] = "";
$data['dhost'] = "localhost";
$data['dbase'] = "content";

function connect()
{
    global $data;

    $connection    = @mysql_connect(
        $data['dhost'],
        $data['uname'],
        $data['paswd']) or die("Error connectiong: " . mysql_error());

    @mysql_select_db($data['dbase'], $connection);
       
    return $connection;

}

function close($connection)
{
    mysql_close($connection);
}

function showAll()
{
    $connection = connect();
   
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM article";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
   
    if ($result)
    {
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
        {
            echo '<a href="/admin/index.php?id='.$row['id'].'">'.$row['title'].'</a> - <a href="/admin/edit.php?id='.$row['id'].'">EDIT</a> - <a href="/admin/admin.php?a=delete&id='.$row['id'].'">DELETE</a><br />';
        }
    }
   
    close($connection);
   
}

function getArticle($id)
{
    $connection = connect();
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM article WHERE id='$id'";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
   
    if ($result)
    {
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
        $articleinfo[] = $row;
    }
   
    return $articleinfo;
    close($connection);
   
}

If you want to do OOP for a web page you should stick to java.  OOP in php leaves much to be desired.(and all other languages not designed from the ground to do OOP... i'm looking at you LISP)
