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; }

   }


i think you're missing the point, the idea is to *not*
have to write that extra getter line ... less typing
*and* less error prone ... and easier to read, too IMHO

You didn't want to return $bar in your example, you wanted
to return $this->bar so you already ran into one of the
issues here ;)
