BDKR has a rant here about OO in PHP. I agree with some of what he says. There’s lots of bad code and design out there (I can’t promise to be perfect either!) but that permeates functional and procedural programming too.
I happen to like working with objects and structuring code in that way. It was a hell of a thing to get used to in college though, Before that I had done a lot of work coding in ASM on the C64. Actually having structures to work with was a real boon!
On a related topic, John mentioned a ObjectView, a PDF magazine about OO for developers. May take a look at it later.
