가시성

프로퍼티나 메서드의 가시성은 public, protected, private 키워드를 앞에 붙여 정의할수 있습니다. public 으로 선언된 클래스 멤버는 어느곳에서든 접근할 수 있습니다. protected 로 선언된 멤버는 클래스 자신의 내부나 상속된 클래스나 그 부모 클래스에서만 접근할 수 있습니다. private 으로 선언된 멤버는 해당 클래스의 멤버만 접근 가능합니다.

프로퍼티 가시성

클래스 프로퍼티는 public, private, protected 로 정의되어야 합니다. var 키워드로 선언된 프로퍼티는 public으로 정의됩니다.

Example #1 프로퍼티 선언

<?php
/**
 * Define MyClass
 */
class MyClass
{
    public 
$public 'Public';
    protected 
$protected 'Protected';
    private 
$private 'Private';

    function 
printHello()
    {
        echo 
$this->public;
        echo 
$this->protected;
        echo 
$this->private;
    }
}

$obj = new MyClass();
echo 
$obj->public// Works
echo $obj->protected// Fatal Error
echo $obj->private// Fatal Error
$obj->printHello(); // Shows Public, Protected and Private


/**
 * Define MyClass2
 */
class MyClass2 extends MyClass
{
    
// We can redeclare the public and protected method, but not private
    
protected $protected 'Protected2';

    function 
printHello()
    {
        echo 
$this->public;
        echo 
$this->protected;
        echo 
$this->private;
    }
}

$obj2 = new MyClass2();
echo 
$obj2->public// Works
echo $obj2->protected// Fatal Error
echo $obj2->private// Undefined
$obj2->printHello(); // Shows Public, Protected2, Undefined

?>

Note: PHP 4 에서 var 키워드를 이용한 변수선언방법은 현재도 호환성의 이유로 유지되고 있습니다 (public 키워드의 동의어로서). 이것은 PHP 5.1.3 이전의 PHP 5버전에서는 E_STRICT 경고를 발생했습니다.

메서드 가시성

클래스 메서드는 pubolic, private, protected로 정의 될수 있습니다. 명시적으로 가시성을 선언하지 않은 메서드는 public으로 정의 됩니다.

Example #2 메서드 선언

<?php
/**
 * Define MyClass
 */
class MyClass
{
    
// Declare a public constructor
    
public function __construct() { }

    
// Declare a public method
    
public function MyPublic() { }

    
// Declare a protected method
    
protected function MyProtected() { }

    
// Declare a private method
    
private function MyPrivate() { }

    
// This is public
    
function Foo()
    {
        
$this->MyPublic();
        
$this->MyProtected();
        
$this->MyPrivate();
    }
}

$myclass = new MyClass;
$myclass->MyPublic(); // Works
$myclass->MyProtected(); // Fatal Error
$myclass->MyPrivate(); // Fatal Error
$myclass->Foo(); // Public, Protected and Private work


/**
 * Define MyClass2
 */
class MyClass2 extends MyClass
{
    
// This is public
    
function Foo2()
    {
        
$this->MyPublic();
        
$this->MyProtected();
        
$this->MyPrivate(); // Fatal Error
    
}
}

$myclass2 = new MyClass2;
$myclass2->MyPublic(); // Works
$myclass2->Foo2(); // Public and Protected work, not Private

class Bar 
{
    public function 
test() {
        
$this->testPrivate();
        
$this->testPublic();
    }

    public function 
testPublic() {
        echo 
"Bar::testPublic\n";
    }
    
    private function 
testPrivate() {
        echo 
"Bar::testPrivate\n";
    }
}

class 
Foo extends Bar 
{
    public function 
testPublic() {
        echo 
"Foo::testPublic\n";
    }
    
    private function 
testPrivate() {
        echo 
"Foo::testPrivate\n";
    }
}

$myFoo = new foo();
$myFoo->test(); // Bar::testPrivate 
                // Foo::testPublic
?>

다른 객체로부터의 가시성

같은 타입의 객체는 private과 protected를 가지는 다른 객체라도 서로 접근이 가능합니다. 왜냐하면 객체 내부의 특정 상세 구현부를 이미 알고 있기 때문입니다.

Example #3 같은 타입의 객체에서의 private 멤버에 대한 접근

<?php
class Test
{
    private 
$foo;

    public function 
__construct($foo)
    {
        
$this->foo $foo;
    }

    private function 
bar()
    {
        echo 
'Accessed the private method.';
    }

    public function 
baz(Test $other)
    {
        
// We can change the private property:
        
$other->foo 'hello';
        
var_dump($other->foo);

        
// We can also call the private method:
        
$other->bar();
    }
}

$test = new Test('test');

$test->baz(new Test('other'));
?>

위 예제의 출력:

string(5) "hello"
Accessed the private method.

Just a quick note that it's possible to declare visibility for multiple properties at the same time, by separating them by commas.

eg:

<?php
class a
{
    protected
$a, $b;

    public
$c, $d;

    private
$e, $f;
}
?>

Beware: Visibility works on a per-class-base and does not prevent instances of the same class accessing each others properties!

<?php
class Foo
{
    private
$bar;

    public function
debugBar(Foo $object)
    {
       
// this does NOT violate visibility although $bar is private
       
echo $object->bar, "\n";
    }

    public function
setBar($value)
    {
       
// Neccessary method, for $bar is invisible outside the class
       
$this->bar = $value;
    }
   
    public function
setForeignBar(Foo $object, $value)
    {
       
// this does NOT violate visibility!
       
$object->bar = $value;
    }
}

$a = new Foo();
$b = new Foo();
$a->setBar(1);
$b->setBar(2);
$a->debugBar($b);        // 2
$b->debugBar($a);        // 1
$a->setForeignBar($b, 3);
$b->setForeignBar($a, 4);
$a->debugBar($b);        // 3
$b->debugBar($a);        // 4

Dynamic properties are "public".
<?php
class MyClass {
    public function
setProperty($value) {
       
$this->dynamicProperty = $value;
    }
}
$obj = new MyClass();
$obj->setProperty('Hello World');
echo
$obj->dynamicProperty; // Outputs "Hello World"
?>

This usage is the same as well:
<?php
class MyClass {
}
$obj = new MyClass();
$obj->dynamicProperty = 'Hello World';
echo
$obj->dynamicProperty; // Outputs "Hello World"
?>

if not overwritten, self::$foo in a subclass actually refers to parent's self::$foo
<?php
class one
{
    protected static
$foo = "bar";
    public function
change_foo($value)
    {
       
self::$foo = $value;
    }
}

class
two extends one
{
    public function
tell_me()
    {
        echo
self::$foo;
    }
}
$first = new one;
$second = new two;

$second->tell_me(); // bar
$first->change_foo("restaurant");
$second->tell_me(); // restaurant
?>

I couldn't find this documented anywhere, but you can access protected and private member varaibles in different instance of the same class, just as you would expect

i.e.

<?php
class A
{
    protected
$prot;
    private
$priv;
   
    public function
__construct($a, $b)
    {
       
$this->prot = $a;
       
$this->priv = $b;
    }
   
    public function
print_other(A $other)
    {
        echo
$other->prot;
        echo
$other->priv;
    }
}

class
B extends A
{
}

$a = new A("a_protected", "a_private");
$other_a = new A("other_a_protected", "other_a_private");

$b = new B("b_protected", "ba_private");

$other_a->print_other($a); //echoes a_protected and a_private
$other_a->print_other($b); //echoes b_protected and ba_private

$b->print_other($a); //echoes a_protected and a_private

> the member.

This is not strictly true. Code outside the object can get and set private and protected members:

<?php
class Sealed { private $value = 'foo'; }

$sealed = new Sealed;
var_dump($sealed); // private $value => string(3) "foo"

call_user_func(\Closure::bind(
    function () use (
$sealed) { $sealed->value = 'BAZ'; },
   
null,
   
$sealed
));

var_dump($sealed); // private $value => string(3) "BAZ"

?>

The magic lay in \Closure::bind, which allows an anonymous function to bind to a particular class scope. The documentation on \Closure::bind says:

> If an object is given, the type of the object will be used
> instead. This determines the visibility of protected and
> private methods of the bound object.

So, effectively, we're adding a run-time setter to $sealed, then calling that setter. This can be elaborated to generic functions that can force set and force get object members:

<?php
function force_set($object, $property, $value) {
   
call_user_func(\Closure::bind(
        function () use (
$object, $property, $value) {
           
$object->{$property} = $value;
        },
       
null,
       
$object
   
));
}

function
force_get($object, $property) {
    return
call_user_func(\Closure::bind(
        function () use (
$object, $property) {
            return
$object->{$property};
        },
       
null,
       
$object
   
));
}

force_set($sealed, 'value', 'quux');
var_dump(force_get($sealed, 'value')); // 'quux'

?>

You should probably not rely on this ability for production quality code, but having this ability for debugging and testing is handy.

I see we can redeclare private properties into child class
<?php  
class A{
        private
int $private_prop = 4;
        protected
int $protected_prop = 8;
    }

    class
B extends A{
        private
int $private_prop = 7; // we can redeclare private property!!!
       
public function printAll() {
            echo
$this->private_prop;
            echo
$this->protected_prop;
    }
    }

   
$b = new B;
   
$b->printAll(); // show 78
}
?>
