The purpose of this article is to give a novice programmer the basic idea of what OOP is, as implemented using PHP. Readers should have a basic knowledge of programming ie what variables are, variable types, basic methods of writing comments, and how to enter code into a text editor.

While its true that PHP was originally created with the sole purpose of being a web-based scripting language, I would argue that over the past 2 years it has pretty much graduated to general scripting language. Especially for Unix systems, it includes all kinds of capabilities for systems-level interaction: sockets, streams, process control, expect, readline, FAM, direct I/O, shell redirection, and a long list of other shiny toys ;-).
For example, I have just finished a project on FreeBSD using PHP in daemon mode, as a socket server for messaging, and it has been rock-stable. Nothing at all web-based about this project.
And, all of these abilities will be even better integrated in PHP5. I am really looking forward to it.
