If you are within class methods, it will work as expected. The interpreter should know how to resolve 'private' vars. The only 'enforcement' is to avoid direct references to such vars. If the programmers insists, ans uses $obj->_class__var, you just can't stop her shooting to the foot :) > I couldn't even begin to imagine the problems there.

I dunno how exactly the debugger works, but if the introspection is done via Zend, then it will get back the proper values. > Now the solution you describe sounds great, and can be implemented with > just good programming practice (which is where I missed the boat). this was just a cool think I liked @ python, among other things :) > I quess what i'm getting at is if there is a standard I (we all) should > follow when using OOP? Any of the PHP books cover this? (I've never Knowing and using the object oriented programming paradigms is enough. For example, I sow recently some code I really liked how it was written, and you may take a look at it (trade.ez.no) -- teodor
