Unless you yourself sit down and right an equivalent, easily read, easy to comprehend little tutorial in language X. If Ruby, Java, Python, D, whatever, is better for doing what the author attempted to do- go ahead and contribute.
Whoa! Take a deep breath and calm yourself. It's just a sharing of ideas. It's good to write a beginner tutorial about OOP, but the criticism of using PHP as an example is certainly valid. It does lack many of the structures that are fundamental parts of OOP. Furthermore, it's a web-based scripting language.
But on a different note, I must say that I love the fact that PHP is object-oriented. Especially the new features that are being implemented in PHP 5. With web-apps becoming more complex, it is a major advancement to offer a server-side scripting language that bears a greater resemblance to true OOP languages.
