note 54986 added to language.oop5.visibility

A note about private members, the doc says "Private limits visibility only to the class that defines the item" this says that the following code works as espected: <?php class A { private $_myPrivate="private"; public function showPrivate() { echo $this->_myPrivate."\n"; } } class B extends A { public function show() { $this->showPrivate(); } } $obj=new B(); $obj->show(); // shows "private\n"; ?> this works cause A::showPrivate() is defined in the same class as $_myPrivate and has access to it. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.visibility.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54986 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54986&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54986&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54986&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54986&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54986&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54986&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54986&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
