What I was explaining is that you don't actually need to use it and that he term "private" means a different thing.
well then what does 'private' mean? i am referring specifically to what is in the codeigniter 3 manual for how to prevent methods in a controller from being publicly available. is there something else that bears on this and if yes please explain or link to a source so we can understand what you are referring to.

It is private because the "private" keyword is used, not because of the underscore.
