Answer 1

Yes, the latest versions of PHP are object oriented. That is, you can write classes yourself, use inheritance, and where appropriate, the built in functionality is built in objects too (like MySQL features).

There are still a lot of loose functions however, so there might be a disagreement about how object oriented PHP is. I think it is. And yes CakePHP is an object oriented framework.
