Here is my stab at it. One person described it as the opposite of OO.
So something similar to ->
<?php
do_this() {
// do this code
}
do_that() {
// do that code
}
if (isset( $_GET['foo'] )) {
do_this();
} else {
do_that();
}
?>
would be considered "procedural code".
If Im wrong I stand corrected....

What is meant by 'procedural code' ???It's the opposite of "declarative code". Here's a page that briefly explains the difference: <http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/DB/SQL/BeginSQL/beginSQL2_1.html> and <http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/DB/SQL/BeginSQL/beginSQL2_2.html> There may be other contexts that the term "procedural" could be used in, and if so it may have other meanings that I am not aware of....
