From my own experience, PHP developers who are introduced to OOP often get taught the Java-esque flavour of it. Classes for everything, abstractions and base classes and inheritance all over the place. Hell, I even went there myself at one point, at first doing it to DRY up a bunch of procedural scripts, but later introducing more abstractions to bend the existing code to my will. Now, I prefer simplicity and will often scrap code that jumps through all sorts of hoops just to do something simple.
