Hi,

finally giving php 5 a go, and going over the new approach to classes.
Can someone clarify the public, private and protected to me?

I quote the php manual: "The visibility of a property or method can be
defined by prefixing the declaration with the keywords: public,
protected or private. Public declared items can be accessed
everywhere."

But should I read "...can be accessed everywhere within a given class."
or "...can be accessed by all other classes." ?

Job
