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, using reflection, without the need for a ReflectionObject instance:

For static properties:

setAccessible(true);
$reflection->setValue(null, 'new property value');

For non-static properties:

setAccessible(true);
$reflection->setValue($instance, 'new property value');
