That is not OOP, sorry. Try to read the tutorials we have on the main site.

OOP is one of those things you learn more about by doing.

 

I would suggest you have a read of some texts on OOP and design patterns to see where real world comes in to play.

 

http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Elements-Reusable-Object-Oriented/dp/0201633612 is apparently a ubiquitous text.

 

I would also recommend http://www.amazon.com/PHP-Architects-Guide-Design-Patterns/dp/0973589825 - old book but I found it useful.

 

As you progress you will find more resources and I'm sure others will contribute valuable resources if asked.

 

Good luck with it fella - once you get into OOP you won't look back.
