I have a medium sized project that I'm started in PHP and mySQL. I think an object-orientated approach may be the best to reduce the amount of code. My question is if I'm using PHP should I even try to do it an object-orientated manner. I've seen some posts that say that doing it this way will really slow down PHP and that if you're doing OO you should really do it in a language like Java.

Non-sense. You can do OOP in PHP just fine, just differently than you would do some things in Java. That did not stop thousands of people using hundreds of PHP classes written in by many PHP developers and made available here for free: http://www.phpclasses.org/

We do OOP and never noticed a performance downgrade, right the opposite. Again, *any* tech solution will downgrade performance if unproperly coded. If you can do efficient OOP you can do it in whatever language you choose (well, maybe smalltalk and java qualify as an exception LOL) I won't repeat the usual warnings about correct OOP in itself as it's OT here. Just watch out *PHP returns copies from the assignement operator = and not references*. That's it. Once you know that, you know everything. Learn to use the & sign when you need a reference (which *is* slower, so use it only when needed) and everything will be just fine. And *much* quicker than any java OOP will ever be.
