Hello, I'm a newb and I'm trying to learn what "private" means in regards to making a variable private. I think it means that the Value of the variable is specific to only the fuction it is contained in, but I don't want to think anything, I need to know for sure. I'm having trouble finding the information on my own, perhaps there is a tutorial on this somewhere?

The bigger picture is that I'm trying to learn how to implement the auth.net payment gateway (AIM) and so I'm having to learn OOP if anyone knows a good resource or tutorial to learn that.
Thanks.
