OOP PHP and MySQL

Question

Hi I'm new to OOP with PHP. I'm wondering how OO comes into play when selecting data from a table. i.e. i have a users table and a user profile page. So I have a User class. Do I select the user data from the table then create a new object of class User and define the properties?

Thanks for anyone that can clear this up for me!

Regards,

Jonesy

Use ORM, like Doctrine or Propel.
