Is there any way to set a private/protected static property using reflection classes?

Question

I am trying to perform a backup/restore function for static properties of classes. I can get a list of all of the static properties and their values using the reflection obj

Answer 1

For accessing private/protected properties of a class we may need to set the accessibility of that class first, using reflection. Try the following code:

$obj         = new ClassName();
$refObject   = new ReflectionObject( $obj );
$refProperty = $refObject->getProperty( 'property' );
$refProperty->setAccessible( true );
$refProperty->setValue(null, 'new value');
