No it isn't (not in PHP 4 anyway, it's possible in the ZE2-based alpha).

It's completely different. It addresses scoping issues, and gives you the
same functionality as namespaces. For example:
class foo {
class bar {
function method1()
{
}
};
};
to call method1() externally, you would have to use something like
foo::bar::method1(). It's not directly related to object instaniation.
