Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80075&edit=1 ID: 80075 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: liuduan2004 at 163 dot com Summary: property_exists will return true for a protected member from a third class -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: mac 10.15.6 PHP Version: 7.4.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Shop *does* have a property $id_shop. It is protected and thus not accessible, but it still exists. Consider using get_class_vars() or get_object_vars(), but I would suggest you reconsider your design so that you don't need to care about property visibility.
