ok,

I know that class support is only a courtesy, and it's not supposed to be complete, etc etc. BUT...

would it be possible to allow us to declare class methods as private? This is the biggest thing missing to me, apart from overloading which is being addressed.

Unless of course it would hugely affect performance.

A better OO support will come with Zend 2.0 (i.e. with the next major release of PHP). have a look at zend.com, there's some documentation about it there.

The only thing you can do NOW is to add a comment which suggests to the user not to use this variable/function:

/* private: moo moo */
function moo() {

}

Kind Regards,
  Daniel Lorch
