we all know that php is object oriented. tell me if i am wrong. the thing which i want to know is that how can we make objects private in php. like they can't be used anywhere else.

Well you are in charge of where they can and will be used as the programmer.

As far as I'm aware, php does not support nested class, so a private class would be useless.

then how is the php object oriented?

Very few languages are pure instances of any paradigm. Even Java deviates from the object oriented paradigm slightly. PHP supports object oriented programming through the use of classes, but the programmer is not forced to do so.

Additionally, the lack of certain features available in other OO languages does not exclude PHP from the paradigm.

May be the solution is class with only private functions and vars
