Test script: --------------- class Base { protected function foo() { echo 'foo'; } } class A extends Base { } class B extends Base { public function bar() { $a = new A(); // in fact, it is ok, and will echo foo. // but I think it should not access $a->foo(); } } (new B())->bar(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77039&edit=1
