PHP has no 'var' at all, anyway, *EXCEPT* inside a 'class' definition, and
PHP5+ has better keywords (public/private/ etc) to use instead of 'var'

Furthermore, where you do have var in PHP, you can ONLY provide it with a
constant. It cannot be a derived value. Not a variable. Not an
expression. A constant.

Disclaimer: I don't use classes, so maybe I'm wrong... But I think I got
this one right.
