public/private in php

May 9th, 2008

I have noticed that some people use public/ private for their vars and functions. I tried looking it up on php.net and then here, but only found one explanation of it on the C++ board. It says that if you declare private var then it is only accessible by that class and public is by everyone.. does the same hold true in php? and what about when someone declares private/ public function?
