If you want to play with OO all day, then use Java. PHP was built on

short-lived web request I see no reason to complicate and obfuscate
the code with OO.
Please explain in detail how object-oriented code obfuscates,
complicates, murders baby kittens, etc.
This is becoming religious now, and a fight I will probably lose, but
think about PHP core, it does not need to actually start having "OO
only" stuff, especially when we're talking about one-line functions.

Next you'll start saying "why can't I do $string = new String();
$string->input($input); $string->replace($output);" or something,
instead of str_replace.
Actually, I have. As an advocate of APIs with consistent argument order
that newbies like me can learn more easily, I *have*, in fact, proposed
that.
You can always build something from a basic simple foundation, which
is how PHP's OO is built anyway. Don't complicate things because of
personal preference. There is no reason it cannot stay a simple
function call or two. Wrap that in as many classes as you wish on your
own time. :)
What's complex about a method call?
