I tried stored procedures a while ago. Funny thing is, I know how to code using stored procedures, I just can't seem to get them to behave well with PHP. When I last tried, roughly a year ago, there were so many bugs in PHP relating to stored procedures - connections kept getting dropped and other miscellaneous issues, that I just gave up in the end. And that was with mysqli, too!
