One note that I have not found in the documentation but have found to be valid is a alternative syntax for visibility assignment. Take into consideration a previous example of:

<?php

class Foo
{

    const sudo = 'sudo';
    const finger = 'finger';
    const strings = 'strings;

    private $a;
    private $b;
    private $c;
    private $d;
    private $e;
    private $f;

    protected $g;
    protected $h;
    protected $i;
    protected $j;

    public $k;
    public $l;
    public $m;

    public function __construct() {}

}

?>

Can also be written, slightly more elegantly as:

<?php

class Foo
{

    const
        sudo = 'sudo',
        finger = 'finger',
        const strings = 'strings;

    private
        $a,
        $b,
        $c,
        $d,
        $e,
        $f;

    protected
        $g,
        $h,
        $i,
        $j;

    public
        $k,
        $l,
        $m;

    public function __construct() {}

}

?>

Just make sure to end the assignment with your semicolon, and separate assignment with commas.
