Thanks Jerry and Hendri.

I ran into a problem using "global" where I copied a variable name
outside of a function and even though I didn't put anything in the
outside variable.

When creating a class in PHP 4, I'm not seeing any kind of
private variables. Is there a way to simulate private variables
in PHP 4 ?

I've been thinking about moving to PHP 5.x, but before I finalize
and commit to such... I'm exploring classes in PHP 4.


Sorry, there really isn't. PHP 5 has much better encapsulation.
