Bug #69391 [Com]: Bug

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69391&edit=1 ID: 69391 Comment by: farhan dot shahid001 at gmail dot com Reported by: farhan dot shahid001 at gmail dot com Summary: Bug Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *General Issues PHP Version: 5.6.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hi, Please check this code: class A { private $tempVar=10; function funcA() { echo $this->tempVar; } } class B extends A { private $tempVar=50; } $obj=new B; $obj->funcA(); So, then why it is not printing 50. It is still printing 10. When we derived a class, parent's class method(s) become available within the derived class so $this->tempVar should print the value that has been assigned within the derived class not that value that is in the parent class.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php funcA() is still a method defined on A, so any private properties within A (such as $tempVar) are accessible to it. This is by design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-07 06:59:52] farhan dot shahid001 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The private members are accessible within the Derived Classes. Test script: --------------- class A { private $tempVar=10; function funcA() { $this->tempVar=20; echo $this->tempVar; } } class B extends A { } $obj=new B; $obj->funcA(); Expected result: ---------------- It should give an error because the property $tempVar is private and should not be available to derived classes. Actual result: -------------- It is printing the value of $tempVar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69391&edit=1
