I had some problems upgrading to php5 on Debian Sid so I rolled back
to 4, but recently I have started to write my programs using OO.  Even
though it requires more though about design, I feel that you can
create applications quicker (apart from little apps. maybe) as you
don't have to reuse code.  I wrote an application for a friend the
other week, he was doing the design, I was doing the back end and
because I built the application as an array, we could separate the
front end from the back end quite a lot.  I certainly think that if
you are writing larger applications you should try to write it in OO
code as it will save a lot of time and effort.
