//((inheritance))
class ParentClass
{
public function public_message()
{
echo "This is a Public message" . "<br>" . "from Parent class .";
}
protected function protected_message()
{
echo "This is a Protected message" . "<br>" . "from Parent class .";
}
}
class Child extends ParentClass

}
$obj = new Child();
$obj->protected_message();
I got an error ! but as we know , protected methods ( or properties ) can also use correctly in inheritance.
Here is an example which shows a valid call to the protected method:
class ParentClass
{
public function public_message()
{
echo "This is a Public message" . "<br>" . "from Parent class .";
}
protected function protected_message()
{
echo "This is a Protected message" . "<br>" . "from Parent class .";
}
}
class Child extends ParentClass
{
public function test()
{
$this->protected_message();
}
}
$obj = new Child();
$obj->test();
