in PHP4 there is no public,private,etc. So I am wondering if there is some sort of work-around so that I can make a class’s property private and only accessible via getter/setter
Thanks!!

You could approach this with a distinct syntax that clearly discourages the usage of such properties. You could borrow the python syntax of starting the method name with an underscore to define it as private.
This doesn’t block anyone from using it, of course, but its usage will be discouraged.
