This may be off topic, as it is not a technical question. I am not a
heavy or "enterprise" user of php and write scripts myself for my web
site and a few friends. I've created a munch of functions, not as
objects that serve me quite well in repeated applications. I've never
bothered to learn how to work with "objects." I am noticing that with
php 5 out, more and more, scripts available at online sites ues the
object technololgy available now in php 5. My web host, a large host,
where I have a bunch of sites and with which I now have a lot of
familiarity, has no plans to switch to php 5 soom, worrying that it
will cause trouble with existing clients. I went out and got some books
on OOP and kind of "get" how OOP works, but find it an added complexity
that by-and-large makes things harder for the simple scripting work I
do.

Any other folks dealing with similar issues and how are you addressing
them?
