Classes. Whats the point?

[Josmith]

I'm fairly new to OOP in PHP, I've made a couple of basic scripts but nothing impressive. All I've really taken from it is that it would probably be easier just make a collection of functions and \[code\]include\[/code\] them. The structure of classes seems to just confuse what was otherwise a simple process. And in collating everything into a class it doesn't really add any functionality.So I'm clearly missing something. Could someone explain what functionality is added by creating classes
