It's wrong to think people here don't know how to code object oriented. You can do that with PHP4 too - and you should in many cases.
In some time PHP4 will be old school and PHP5 will be the general one. In my oppinion, it's good for not-OO ppl to see how to do things in OO way.
If you have an OO question on your mind, just ask and see if someone knows the answer. I'm pretty sure there is a lot of ppl reading this list who have coding experience in other OO languages. Many general OO questions can be answered by the knowledge in other languages too.
IMHO there is no need for a new list. Spread the word of OO coding and the world will be a better place. :)
You're taking my post out of context. Im not saying people who participate in php-general do
not know how to code object oriented.
In my mind, even if php4 were discontinued today, OO would be too *general* for php-general.
Reason why I say that, is because in my mind, OO (especially when combined with design patterns)
is a higher language than plain vanilla php.
And that php-general discussions usually revolve around php's plain vanilla nuts and bolts.
But I'm not going to pursue this any further, as my original post
was meant as an inquiry and not as an arguement.
Thanks for replying...

Just wondering.
With the advent of php5 with its OO capabilities, is php-general too
*general* for advanced php5 users?
For me, I've learned quite a lot from listening to others, and participating
in threads on php-general & php-db.
Currently, Im investigating OO theory, and how I can translate it to my code.
But with no one to talk to, and no one to listen to,
its going to be a lot more trial and error on my part, fumbling in the dark.
Granted, there a handful of online resources on the net, they are not *staffed* (by staffed,
I mean they are not setup to provide 24/7 discussions like how mailing lists are).
Wanted to see what others may think about this matter. Thanks for listening...
