Unlike Java, in PHP you have a choice. Use it wisely, though. Group libraries in classes, and combine that with design patterns. This is called, in one word, MVC.

This is the problem with people new to classes. They think 'hey, I can build a class to do that, why use procedural code?'. That's the way I was thinking when I first discovered OOP, and took me some time to figure what to do and what not to do in an OOP-manner. Study, and implement.
