Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You can increase visibility in derived classes (e.g., protected->public) but you can not decrease visibility (since it violates the base class API). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-03 00:09:43] greg at chiaraquartet dot net Description: ------------ if a protected data member is re-declared as public in a child class, it is redefined as public. Shouldn't the parent class protected declaration override the child class as it does for private? Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class test { protected $a = 6; function __construct() { print $this->a; } } class my extends test { var $a = 7; function __construct() { print $this->a; parent::__construct(); } } $a = new test; // 6 $a = new my; // 77 print $a->a; // should give error, is 7 $a->a = 4; print $a->a; // 4 ?> Expected result: ---------------- Fatal Error, cannot redeclare a protected data member as public Actual result: -------------- 67774 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24471&edit=1
