For example: Protected means usable only by the class they were declared in or classes extending that class, not the same thing at all. -joshTomas V.V.Cox wrote:Well, in CS there was no distiction, '_' was for private and protected. Was thought for "protecting" the user not the developer :-) Tomas V.V.CoxNope, for PHP4 is clear stated in CS that needs "_" (http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.naming.php). Too much code wrote this way. This discussion should only be for PHP5.Except thats for private in the standard not protected.
