Hi,
Stay cool. :-)
You CAN use OO if you want, but nobody is forcing you to do so.
Many hackers like PHP the way it is, and do not use OO.
Because OO offer some very serious advantages, you can expect to see more
OO-PHP-code, but of course it is up to you if you want to use it.
And PHP is not heading in a direction that forces you to use OO, it is just
offering you the option.
Mind however that many usefull add-ons, like PEAR, are coded in an OO
fashion. If you find you have some time left, use it to study OO.
PHP's implementation of OO is easy to learn (compared to Java eg), and you
might find yourself in the future in the situation you see that
very-handy-impossible-to-resist-package, but it uses OO.
