My bad. I mean protecting the privates is probably the way Reflection
was designed for, so it's correct behavior (not a bug).
For myself, I really think that Reflection power should be left on
programmer's side to decide on what to do - still one should know where
to use it. But maybe getProperty() was designed just for that.
The Fatal Error comes from the uncaught exception, just as any left
"throw new Exception()" without a catch will cause it.

Thanks for the workaround.
Access modifiers are for visibility between classes, so I don't see
circumventing them through Reflection as a problem. If you cast en
object to an array, you also get the private / protected variables (see
#44273).
Your workaround (using getProperty) also works just fine.
So I think the way to go is just enable access to private / protected
members.
Whatever the design decision though, a Fatal Error is certainly a bug :)

I can reproduce this, still I think that in this case, protecting the
private and protected resources is the correct behavior.
You might want to check this:
$rT = new ReflectionClass( 'Tehst' );
var_dump( $s = $rT->getProperty('prot') );
var_dump( $s->isStatic() );
$s->setAccessible(1);
$s->setValue("myProt");
var_dump( $s->getValue() );

Description:
------------
---
>From manual page:
http://www.php.net/reflectionclass.setstaticpropertyvalue#Description
---
ReflectionClass::getProperties() shows public, protected and private
members, but ReflectionClass::setStaticPropertyValue throws a fatal
error if a protected or private member is set.
The error message says that "Class Tehst does not have a property named
prot", which is plain wrong.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Tehst {
public static $pub = 'pub';
protected static $prot = 'prot';
private static $priv = 'priv';
}
$rT = new ReflectionClass( 'Tehst' );
var_export( $rT->getProperties() );
$rT->setStaticPropertyValue( 'pub', 'myPub' );
$rT->setStaticPropertyValue( 'prot', 'myProt' );
$rT->setStaticPropertyValue( 'priv', 'myPriv' );
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array (
0 =>
ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'pub',
'class' => 'Tehst',
)),
1 =>
ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'prot',
'class' => 'Tehst',
)),
2 =>
ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'priv',
'class' => 'Tehst',
)),
)pub: myPub
Actual result:
--------------
array (
0 =>
ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'pub',
'class' => 'Tehst',
)),
1 =>
ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'prot',
'class' => 'Tehst',
)),
2 =>
ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array(
'name' => 'priv',
'class' => 'Tehst',
)),
)pub: myPub
