Is there object persistence in PHP 5?
I ask because it seems that with all the associated memory overhead with OOP, I am wondering if there is another reason for PHP to go OOP besides maintainability.

Jump to PostSince it is stateless you can't persist objects across requests without storing to a file in some way be it a database, cookie(session) or some other flatfile. Not to mention maintainability is one very unimportant reason to pick OOP.

Specifically for this purpose, you would likely use serialize and its opposite, unserialize, to store an object as text.
