The point of OO is the same in PHP5 as is everywhere else: it allows
encapsulation and code reuse. It also allows much simpler error checking
using try { } catch {} blocks. Libraries like ADOdb are written using
OO methodology and are much easier to use then the pure procedural
equivalents. It speeds up coding and allows code reuse, among other things.

People are talking about Brittney Spears and Desperate Housewives, too.
Oprah Winfrey and Jerry Springer made fortunes on idiotic things that
people are talking about. This is wrong newsgroup for a question like this.
