Classes in PHP

[LoganK]

What exactly is a class in PHP? I've seen an article on creating my own PHP-based CMS but it talks all about creating classes. I have no clue what they are or how they can help you. Can anyone give me a link to something like a tutorial about what a class is and maybe some real-life examples?

A class is whats used to define an object. Objects are used to encapsulate code into nice little reuseable chunks.
