Hi all,

Does anyone here use object oriented code for writing web applications (In
php or asp preferably)?

How do you cost the creation of these objects? For instance, if you create
a generic shopping basket which will work on any site, how do you charge
for this? Do you charge the first client who requests it for the creation
of the object, or do you charge each client you use it for the amount it
cost you to build it?

Also, do you make an issue of them being able to use it in the future? (If
it's in php you can't really stop this as far as I know as you can't
protect the source code - there's no equivalent of making a DLL like you
can on a Windows system)

Any info would be really handy.

Thanks,

Antonio
