note 75426 added to language.oop5.visibility

I couldn't find this documented anywhere, but you can access protected and private member varaibles in different instance of the same class, just as you would expect i.e. <?php class A { protected $prot; private $priv; public function __construct($a, $b) { $this->prot = $a; $this->priv = $b; } public function print_other(A $other) { echo $other->prot; echo $other->priv; } } class B extends A { } $a = new A("a_protected", "a_private"); $other_a = new A("other_a_protected", "other_a_private"); $b = new B("b_protected", "ba_private"); $other_a->print_other($a); //echoes a_protected and a_private $other_a->print_other($b); //echoes b_protected and ba_private $b->print_other($a); //echoes a_protected and a_private ?> ---- Server IP: 69.39.81.135 Probable Submitter: 129.186.111.4 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.visibility.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75426 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75426/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75426/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75426/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75426/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75426/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75426/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75426 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75426 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
