Stored procedures a no-go in the php/mysql world?

Question

I\'m quoting part of an answer which I received for another question of mine:

In the PHP/MySQL world I would say stored procedures are no-go

Answer 1

I make limited use of stored procedures, and it works well. I am the lead dev for one of my companies clients, working on their e-comm website. The client has a stock system, we implemented a set of stored procedures on their system and built an API to communicate with it. This allowed us to abstract their database and they could implement logic in the stored procedures. Simple but met the business requirement very well.
