Description:
------------
I am amazed that PHP5 does not treat 'var' as if it was the same
'public'.

I am so sick of trying to maintain two sets of code for PHP4 and PHP5
all because PHP4 uses 'var' in my classes and PHP5 wants 'public',
'private' or 'protected'

I would love to see 'var' be treated an alias for 'public'

Reproduce code:
---------------
class test
{
	var $info;

	function test( $info )
	{
		$this->info = $info;
	}
}

Expected result:
----------------
This should be the same as:
class test
{
	public $info;

	function test( $info )
	{
		$this->info = $info;
	}
}

Actual result:
--------------
error/exception is thrown
