PHP has support for all the elements commonly associated with object-oriented programming. But it also has all the traits of traditional flow-driven programming.

Most developers do not use PHP as an object-oriented language. Most developers use PHP as a flow-driven language.

PHP intentionally supports both methodologies. Support for objects is greatly expanded in PHP 5.

originally not, it became semi-object oriented with version 4, then almost fully object oriented with version 5.

PHP is not purely an object oriented language. But you can develop applications based on object oriented programming.
For example, you can see PEAR packages in PHP.
