Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73779&edit=1 ID: 73779 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: pjvleeuwen at gmail dot com Summary: typo with different semantics on visibility page -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Documentation Problem -Package: Documentation problem +Package: Class/Object related PHP Version: 7.1.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-12-18 09:07:21] pjvleeuwen at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.oop5.visibility --- This sentence does not seem to be correct: "Members declared protected can be accessed only within the class itself and by inherited classes." I believe what the author meant is: "Members declared protected can be accessed only within the class itself and by inheriting classes." In other words: if class C extends class B which extends class A, then a protected member of B can be accessed by C. With the current text "inherited classes" suggest that class A can access protected members of B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73779&edit=1
