<?php
class A {
protected function f() {
}
}
class B extends A {
static function test() {
$c = new C;
$c->f();
}
}
class C extends A {
protected function f() {

B::test();

This should output OK which it really does.

"This is true for all methods except __construct()."
Can you provide an test case for non __construct method? I cannot
reproduce it.

Description:
------------
Protected visibility allows accessing parent members and also members of
parent's children. If class A defines protected method f() and classes B
and C are children of A then B can call C::f(). This is true for all
methods except __construct().
Test script:
---------------
class A {
protected function __construct() {
}
}
class B extends A {
static function test() {
new C;
}
}
class C extends A {
protected function __construct() {
echo "OK\n";
}
}
B::test();
Expected result:
----------------
OK
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to protected C::__construct() from context 'B' on line
9
