I have seen hooks in Kohana PHP framework, and they work as some sort of a callback function triggered by a certain event (Kohana's events that is, some sort of method overloading).

I have seen hooks in Wordpress, and I don't know what they are or how to use them (just saw them yesterday).

I'm looking for events in "non-frameworked" php, I cannot find ones.

Do hooks work only in an "event-based" environment? What are they anyway (in general, not just in PHP)? What are they good for if not in an "event-based" environment.
