继承延伸通过不允许使用父属性

Question

I am Russian, I write with a translator. In the class "Base" has a private property "items". This array. I am creating a class of "UserBase" includes the "Base" class (extends). In this class, I need to implement a function that uses the "items". But for some reason it does not work. I'm trying to bring to check the "items" through var_dump() in the class, and nothing. NULL. Help :c

Answer 1

You would need to make items a protected member so the child class can access it. Child classes will inherit the private property, but won't be able to access it.

var_dump will show all properties of the class, even if they are private, so you should only use that for debugging purposes.
