  Would it be possible to create a new object property attribute:

    readonly


  class xx
  {

     readonly $bar;

  }

  $o = new xx();

  $o->bar = 10;

FATAL ERROR

  
  This way, PHP would allow reading (as if it were public), but only
  allow writing from within the class.


Uhh... how about using private and only using a "regular"
getter (the Java-style) and no setter?

   class xx
   {

      private $bar;



      public getBar() { return $bar; }

   }

   $o = new xx();

   $o->bar = 10; // already emits FATAL ERROR
