'var' is deprecated and should be replaced with 'public'. From the
manual:

| Note: The PHP 4 method of declaring a variable with the var keyword is
| still supported for compatibility reasons (as a synonym for the public
| keyword). In PHP 5 before 5.1.3, its usage would generate an E_STRICT
| warning.
