Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: PHP5 OOP Visibility does not fully document protected
constriants
Description:
------------
The first paragraph includes the following description of protected:
"Protected limits access to inherited classes (and to the class that
defines the item)."
However it actually allows access from functions in both the parent and
child classes. I've provided some example code.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class aParent {
function get_a () {
echo $this->a;
}
}
class aChild extends aParent {
protected $a = "hi";
}
$my_obj = new aChild();
$my_obj->get_a(); # Prints hi
?>
