This is exactly the situation where private and protected should not be visible. It's just like you're trying to access private properties from the wrong scope in PHP itself: <?php class c { private $p = 'hidden'; } $o = new c; echo $o->p; // This will fail, as it should. You need to change your architecture to do what you want. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
