Jerry, of course C doesn't have classes. C isn't an OO language while PHP
is. Also, strictly speaking, there is no linking of PHP scripts, so the
notion of a symbol local for an object file is not easy to translate to
PHP. The best thing to do, if he wants to hide functions from the outside
world, is to use private methods. Yes, that implies classes. PHP and
C are different to that extent that you can't really compare them feature
by feature so we have to think outside the box and come up with the best
functional match. And that is a private method.
