Ok, so it appears that in PHP5, when declaring variables within a class, "var" is being depricated, and "public, private, protected" are the preferred descriptors for a variable type. I see that using "var $varname" is still allowed, and PHP5 just makes it a public variable by default. Is there a way to keep a variable private or protected within a class in PHP4? And have it work in PHP5?

BTW, has anyone else made the switch from v4 to v5 and encountered any gotchas along the way?
