public private functions **Resolved**

[davidrobin]

In my class I have functions , when reading tutorials on PHP the text (and often code comments) this function is private and that function is public. There is no public/private keyword specified as with other languages.
How do we specify public/private and looking at other peoples code how can we tell whether it is public/private.

Puplic and Private do not exist in PHP before PHP 5. But i think that is still only in the beta version.

Apart from that i dont think you can know. Pot Luck.

So in the examples I looked at the author had put private or public in the comments to let people know how he/she intended the function to be used.

I shall do that then.

I haven't looked at PHP5 (I'm just getting to grips with PHP4) but if private and public exist it would be good.
