These three keywords define the visibility of variables.
public
: visible for both inside and outsideprotected
: visible only to its own methodsprivate
: similar toprotected
, intended to be accessed only by the class who defines it
An Instance
error_reporting(E_ALL); class foo{ public $a=1; protected $b=2; private $c=3; function stampa() { echo $this->b; echo $this->c; } } class bar extends foo{ function __construct(){ $this->b = 4; $this->c = 5; } } $A = new foo; echo $A->a; $A->stampa(); $B = new bar; $B->stampa();
Here is the output,
12343
Notes
- The version of tested php: 5.3.6-13
- The instance shows the re-assigning of the
private
member doesn't make any difference. The inheriting class can not modifyprivate
members. - The
private
member is still visible (printed) to the inheriting class.
