If you haven't worked with OOP before, start by learning OOP in the 
language you otherwise know well.  Once you understand the basic 
concepts (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, etc.), you will be 
able to ask intelligent questions about how those concepts are 
implemented in other languages. 
 
Also, note that PHP 4 and PHP 5 have different object models; the one 
in PHP 5 is more in line with what you find in other languages, while 
the one in PHP 4 is simpler, but more restrictive.   
 
Cheers,
