Re: public/private class methods/variables

It will be useful, but please as there's no easy way to implement it in an efficient way, please don't just implement it... If we ever do this, it'll have to be something in compile-time, which means we'd have to add lots of syntax to allow users to give 'hints' as to what kind of object a certain variable holds, etc. It'll most probably not be addressed in PHP 4.0, but PHP 4.1, so it's a bit along the way, right now.

Hi all- I saw a feature request a few days ago (on bugs.php.net) for the ability to define public and private class methods and variables. I know in our application (www.intacct.com) we would have a real use for such an ability. I'm willing to take on the task, unless someone else is already working on it. I'm basically looking for other peoples' opinions .. would such a feature be useful in PHP? Are there any reasons not to do it?
