One correction. What is being described is procedural or imperative programming. Functional programming is another beast entirely (closures, first-class functions, immutable variables, etc.). PHP is not a functional language by any stretch of the imagination. For functional programming, see Erlang, Haskel, ML, LISP, and to a lesser extent Javascript.
