I see more OO code then procedureal when > I browser through misc. sources. I host ~30 domains here. I offer PHP to them, carte blanche. Not a single one of them uses classes of any sort except myself. I don't write the scripts, they do. I have done a _lot_ of searching looking for code snippets to learn from in the past year. The vast majority of that code is not OO in nature, instead it is straight-up procedural. PHP is an awesome tool because it allows for both worlds to collide without interfering with each other. It is relatively easy to learn the basic concepts because one is not forced to learn abstracted methods such as object hierarchies just to get a simple (and sometimes not so simple) task done.
