Exactly
A procedural language goes through the code step by step with a few
jumps and returns to and from sub routines and such.
OOP Object Oriented languages allow, and encourage you to create, or if
you will describe entities called objects which usually consist of sets
of procedures and often specific data to deal with the objects as an
entity.
Any OOP language can be written as a procedural language by not using
OOP tools, but only a few procedural languages can be used for OOP and
you have to stand on your head to accomplish it, if you can.

--Procedures, also known as routines, subroutines
<http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subroutine>, methods, or functions
(not to be confused with mathematical functions, but similar to those
used in functional programming
<http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming>), simply
contain a series of computational steps to be carried out. Any given
procedure might be called at any point during a program's execution,
including by other procedures or itself. Procedural programming is a
list or set of instructions telling a computer what to do step by step
and how to perform from the first code to the second code.

According to

Python is a procedural language as well.
/Bash programming constructs/
/If you've programmed in a procedural language like C, Pascal,
Python, or Perl, then you're familiar with standard
programming constructs like "if" statements, "for" loops, and
the like. /
What does it mean to be a procedural language?

C is procedural, which is easier to learn. C++ is object
oriented. Java is object oriented. I have not looked at
Python so I cannot comment. PHP is object oriented,
however most use it for scripting (old school PHP).
