Hi,
that's imho expected behaviour. To quote
http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php
| Protected member variables can be accessed in classes extending the class
| they are declared in, whereas private member variables can only be
| accessed by the class they belong to.
And $id belongs to the base class and not to the extended. What else should
be the difference between private and protected?
