For example, let's look at MIME-encoding attachments to emails. I downloaded about 3 or 4 classes and tried to get them to work (using their own example code). Bzzt. Nothing, nada, syntax errors and logic errors everywhere. In the end I went back to the book which recommended the classes, and wrote functions to accept an array of filenames to attach to the email body using the logic in the book. </general bitch mode> Apparently everyone I've sent my function to finds it a lot easier to integrate and use :) Maybe the quality of existing freely-available PHP OOP-based code just ain't there.
