note 75280 added to language.oop5.decon

Looks like some bug with visibility, do not know, may be, this behaviour is evident for someone; not for me. So, the following example: <?php class ParentClass { private function __construct() { } public static function getChild() { return new ChildClass(); } } class ChildClass extends ParentClass { } ParentClass::getChild(); ?> will produce the following fatal error: "Fatal error: Call to private ParentClass::__construct() from context 'ParentClass' in ***.php on line 5" However, if we will change ParentClass::__construct's visibility to protected (or replace "new ChildClass()" to "new ParentClass()" in ParentClass::getChild()) - there would be no erros. PS: Please, forgive me my bad English... ---- Server IP: 195.54.192.44 Probable Submitter: 213.134.196.50 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75280 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75280/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75280/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75280/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75280/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75280/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75280/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75280 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75280 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
