Accessing a protected member variable outside a class
I'm querying for the ID of a field by accessing a class function which someone has already put in place. The result is a object returned with protected member variables. I'm struggling to see how I can access the member variable values outside the class. Just add a "get" method to the class. class Foo { protected $bar = 'Hello World!'; public function getBar() { return $this->bar; } } $baz = new Foo(); echo $baz->getBar(); Pawka Accessing protected or private variables from public is incorrect (thats why they are protected or private). So better is to extend class and access required property
