Vizibilitatea

Vizibilitatea unei propietăţi sau a unei metode poate fi definită prefixând declaraţia cu unul din cuvintele cheie: public, protected sau private. Elementele (fie ele propietăţi sau metode) declarate public pot fi accesate oriunde. Elementele declarate protected limitează accesul la clasele care moştenesc proprietăţile sau metodele (precum şi la clasa care le defineşte). În final, cele declarate private limitează vizibilitatea doar la clasa în care sunt definite.

Vizibilitatea membrilor

Membri unei clase trebuie definiţi cu: public, private, sau protected.

Example #1 Declaraţie membri

<?php
/**
 * Definire ClassaMea
 */
class ClassaMea
{
    public 
$membru_public 'Eu sunt: Public';
    protected 
$membru_protected 'Eu sunt: Protected';
    private 
$membru_private 'Eu sunt: Private';

    function 
afiseazaBunaZiua()
    {
        echo 
$this->membru_public ", ";
        echo 
$this->membru_protected ", ";
        echo 
$this->membru_private;
    }
}

$obj = new ClassaMea();
echo 
$obj->membru_public;    // Funcţionează
echo $obj->membru_protected// Eroare fatală
echo $obj->membru_private;   // Eroare fatală
$obj->afiseazaBunaZiua();    // Afişează Eu sunt: Public, Eu sunt: Protected, Eu sunt: Private

/**
 * Define ClassaMea2
 */
class ClassaMea2 extends ClassaMea
{
    
// Putem redeclara metodele publice şi protected, dar nu şi pe cele private
    
protected $membru_protected 'Eu sunt: Protected2';

    function 
afiseazaBunaZiua()
    {
        echo 
$this->membru_public ",";
        echo 
$this->membru_protected;
        echo 
$this->membru_private;
    }
}

$obj2 = new ClassaMea2();
echo 
$obj->membru_public;     // Funcţionează
echo $obj2->membru_private;   // Nedefinit
echo $obj2->membru_protected// Eroare fatală
$obj2->afiseazaBunaZiua();    // Afişează Eu sunt: Public, Eu sunt: Protected2

?>

Notă: Metoda PHP 4 de a declara variabile folosind cuvântul cheie var este încă susţinută din motive de compatibilitate (fiind sinonim cuvântului cheie public). În PHP 5 înainte de 5.1.3, utilizarea sa va emite o avertizare de tip E_STRICT.

Vizibilitatea metodelor

Metodele claselor trebuie definite cu public, private, sau protected. Metodele fără nici o declaraţie sunt implicit considerate public.

Example #2 Declaraţie metode

<?php
/**
 * Defineşte MyClass
 */
class MyClass
{
    
// Declară un constructor public
    
public function __construct() { }

    
// Declară o metodă publică
    
public function MyPublic() { }

    
// Declară o metodă protected
    
protected function MyProtected() { }

    
// Declară o metodă private
    
private function MyPrivate() { }

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

$myclass = new MyClass;
$myclass->MyPublic(); // Funcţionează
$myclass->MyProtected(); // Eroare fatală
$myclass->MyPrivate(); // Eroare fatală
$myclass->Foo(); // Cele Public, Protected şi Private funcţionează


/**
 * Defineşte MyClass2
 */
class MyClass2 extends MyClass
{
    
// Aceasta este public
    
function Foo2()
    {
        
$this->MyPublic();
        
$this->MyProtected();
        
$this->MyPrivate(); // Eroare fatală
    
}
}

$myclass2 = new MyClass2;
$myclass2->MyPublic(); // Funcţionează
$myclass2->Foo2(); // Public şi Protected funcţionează, dar nu şi 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

If you miss the "package" keyword in PHP in order to allow access between certain classes without their members being public, you can utilize the fact, that in PHP the protected keyword allows access to both subclasses and superclasses.

So you can use this simple pattern:

<?php
   
abstract class Dispatcher {
        protected function &
accessProperty (self $pObj, $pName) {
            return
$pObj->$pName;
        }
        protected function
invokeMethod ($pObj, $pName, $pArgs) {
            return
call_user_func_array(array($pObj, $pName), $pArgs);
        }
    }
?>

The classes that should be privileged to each other simply extend this dispatcher:

<?php
   
class Person extends Dispatcher {
        private
$name;
        protected
$phoneNumbers;
       
        public function
__construct ($pName) {
           
$this->name = $pName;
           
$this->phoneNumbers = array();
        }
        public function
addNumber (PhoneNumber $pNumber, $pLabel) {
           
$this->phoneNumbers[$pLabel] = $pNumber;

           
// this does not work, because "owner" is protected:
            // $pNumber->owner = $this;

            // instead, we get a reference from the dispatcher:
           
$p =& $this->accessProperty($pNumber, "owner");

           
// ... and change that:
           
$p = $this;                                   
        }
        public function
call ($pLabel) {
           
// this does not work since "call" is protected:
            // $this->phoneNumbers[$pLabel]->call();
           
            // instead, we dispatch the call request:
           
$this->invokeMethod($this->phoneNumbers[$pLabel], "call", array());
        }
    }
   
    class
PhoneNumber extends Dispatcher {
        private
$countryCode;
        private
$areaCode;
        private
$number;
        protected
$owner;
       
        public function
__construct ($pCountryCode, $pAreaCode, $pNumber) {
           
$this->countryCode = $pCountryCode;
           
$this->areaCode = $pAreaCode;
           
$this->number = $pNumber;
        }

        protected function
call () {
            echo(
"calling " . $this->countryCode . "-" . $this->areaCode . "-" . $this->number . "\n");
        }
    }

   
$person = new Person("John Doe");
   
$number1 = new PhoneNumber(12, 345, 67890);
   
$number2 = new PhoneNumber(34, 5678, 90123);
   
$person->addNumber($number1, "home");
   
$person->addNumber($number2, "office");
   
$person->call("home");
?>

Without this pattern you would have to make $owner and call() public in PhoneNumber.

If you have problems with overriding private methods in extended classes, read this:)

The manual says that "Private limits visibility only to the class that defines the item". That means extended children classes do not see the private methods of parent class and vice versa also.

As a result, parents and children can have different implementations of the "same" private methods, depending on where you call them (e.g. parent or child class instance). Why? Because private methods are visible only for the class that defines them and the child class does not see the parent's private methods. If the child doesn't see the parent's private methods, the child can't override them. Scopes are different. In other words -- each class has a private set of private variables that no-one else has access to.

A sample demonstrating the percularities of private methods when extending classes:

<?php
abstract class base {
    public function
inherited() {
       
$this->overridden();
    }
    private function
overridden() {
        echo
'base';
    }
}

class
child extends base {
    private function
overridden() {
        echo
'child';
    }
}

$test = new child();
$test->inherited();
?>

Output will be "base".

If you want the inherited methods to use overridden functionality in extended classes but public sounds too loose, use protected. That's what it is for:)

A sample that works as intended:

<?php
abstract class base {
    public function
inherited() {
       
$this->overridden();
    }
    protected function
overridden() {
        echo
'base';
    }
}

class
child extends base {
    protected function
overridden() {
        echo
'child';
    }
}

$test = new child();
$test->inherited();
?>
Output will be "child".

WHEN do I use public, protected or private keyword? Here's the default behavior.
<?php
class Example
{
 
/* use PUBLIC on variables and functions when:
   *  1. outside-code SHOULD access this property or function.
   *  2. extending classes SHOULD inherit this property or function.
   */ 
 
public $var1;
  public function
someFunction_1() { }

 
/* use PROTECTED on variables and functions when:
   *  1. outside-code SHOULD NOT access this property or function.
   *  2. extending classes SHOULD inherit this property or function.
   */
 
protected $var2;
  protected function
someFunction_2() { }

 
/* use PRIVATE on variables and functions when:
   *  1. outside-code SHOULD NOT access this property or function.
   *  2. extending classes SHOULD NOT inherit this property or function.
   */
 
private $var3;
  private function
someFunction_3() { }
}

# these are the only valid calls outside-code can make on Example objects:
 
$obj1 = new Example();      // instantiate
 
$var1 = $obj1->var1;        //  get public data
 
$obj1->var1 = 35;           //  set public data
 
$obj1->someFunction_1();    // call public function
?>

Now try extending the class...

<?php
class Example_2 extends Example
{
 
// this class inherits the following properties and functions.
 
public $var1;
  public function
someFunction_1() { }
  protected
$var2;
  protected function
someFunction_2() { }
}

# these are the only valid calls outside-code can make on Example_2 objects:
 
$obj2 = new Example_2();  // instantiate
 
$var2 = $obj2->var1;      //  get public data
 
$obj2->var1 = 45;         //  set public data
 
$obj2->someFunction_1();  // call public function
?>

UNDERSTANDING PHP's OBJECT VISIBILITY

Sometimes it's good to see a list of many extended classes, one right after the other - just for the sole purpose of looking at their inherited members. Maybe this will help:

<?php
class MyClass_1{
    public
$pubVal = 'Hello World!';
    protected
$proVal = 'Hello FROM MyClass_1';
    private
$priVal = 'Hello TO MyClass_1';

    public function
__toString(){
        return
"MyClass_1[public=$this->pubVal, protected=$this->proVal, private=$this->priVal]";
    }
}

class
MyClass_2 extends MyClass_1{
    public function
__toString(){
        return
"MyClass_2[public=$this->pubVal, protected=$this->proVal, private=$this->priVal]";
    }
}

class
MyClass_3 extends MyClass_2{
    private
$priVal = 'Hello TO MyClass_3';

    public function
__toString(){
        return
"MyClass_3[public=$this->pubVal, protected=$this->proVal, private=$this->priVal]";
    }
}

class
MyClass_4 extends MyClass_3{
    protected
$proVal = 'Hello FROM MyClass_4';

    public function
__toString(){
        return
"MyClass_4[public=$this->pubVal, protected=$this->proVal, private=$this->priVal]";
    }
}

class
MyClass_5 extends MyClass_4{
    public function
__toString(){
        return
"MyClass_5[public=$this->pubVal, protected=$this->proVal, private=$this->priVal]";
    }
}

class
MyClass_6 extends MyClass_5{
    private
$priVal = 'Hello TO MyClass_6';

    public function
__toString(){
        return
"MyClass_6[public=$this->pubVal, protected=$this->proVal, private=$this->priVal]";
    }
}

echo (new
MyClass_1()) . '<br>';
echo (new
MyClass_2()) . '<br>';
echo (new
MyClass_3()) . '<br>';
echo (new
MyClass_4()) . '<br>';
echo (new
MyClass_5()) . '<br>';
echo (new
MyClass_6()) . '<br>';
?>

The list of extended objects:

 MyClass_1[public=Hello World!, protected=Hello FROM MyClass_1, private=Hello TO MyClass_1]
 MyClass_2[public=Hello World!, protected=Hello FROM MyClass_1, private=]
 MyClass_3[public=Hello World!, protected=Hello FROM MyClass_1, private=Hello TO MyClass_3]
 MyClass_4[public=Hello World!, protected=Hello FROM MyClass_4, private=]
 MyClass_5[public=Hello World!, protected=Hello FROM MyClass_4, private=]
 MyClass_6[public=Hello World!, protected=Hello FROM MyClass_4, private=Hello TO MyClass_6]

Notice in the class definitions, I made absolutly no attempt to change protected members to private, etc. - that gets too confusing and is not necessary - though I did redeclare a few members with the same var name and visibility strength. One other noteworthy: the output for MyClass_2, there seems to be a private property with value of empty string. Here, $priVal was not inherited from MyClass_1 because it is private in MyClass_1, instead, because of PHP's relaxed syntax, it was actually created right there in MyClass2::__toString() method... not only that, it is not a private member either. Watch out for this kind of thing, as PHP can sometimes give confusing impressions.

Please note that if a class has a protected variable, a subclass cannot have the same variable redefined private (must be protected or weaker). It seemed to be logical for me as a subsubclass would not know if it could see it or not but even if you declare a subclass to be final the restriction remains.

"If eval() is the answer, you’re almost certainly asking the wrong question."

<?php
eval('$result = $this->'.$var.';'); //wrong
$result = $this->$var; //right way

$var = "foo";
$this->var = "this will assign to member called 'var'.";
$this->$var = "this will assign to member called 'foo'.";

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
?>

Sometimes you may wish to have all members of a class visible to other classes, but not editable - effectively read-only.

In this case defining them as public or protected is no good, but defining them as private is too strict and by convention requires you to write accessor functions.

Here is the lazy way, using one get function for accessing any of the variables:

<?php

class Foo {

  private
$a;
  private
$b;
  private
$c;
  private
$d;
  private
$e;
  private
$f;

  public function
__construct() {
   
$this->a = 'Value of $a';
   
$this->b = 'Value of $b';
   
$this->c = 'Value of $c';
   
$this->d = 'Value of $d';
   
$this->e = 'Value of $e';
   
$this->f = 'Value of $f';
  }

 
/* Accessor for all class variables. */
 
public function get($what) {
   
$result = FALSE;
   
$vars = array_keys(get_class_vars('Foo'));

    foreach (
$vars as $var) {
      if (
$what == $var) {
        eval(
'$result = $this->'.$var.';');
        return
$result;
      }
    }
    return
$result;
  }
}

class
Bar {
  private
$a;

  public function
__construct() {
   
$foo = new Foo();

   
var_dump($foo->get('a'));     // results in: string(11) "Value of $a"
 
}
}

$bar = new Bar();

?>

If you always thought how can you use a private method in php4 classes then try the following within your class.

<?php
function private_func($func)
{
   
$this->file = __FILE__;
    if (
PHPVERS >= 43) {
       
$tmp = debug_backtrace();
        for (
$i=0; $i<count($tmp); ++$i) {
            if (isset(
$tmp[$i]['function'][$func])) {
                if (
$this->file != $tmp[$i]['file']) {
                   
trigger_error('Call to a private method '.__CLASS__.'::'.$func.' in '.$tmp[$i]['file'], E_USER_ERROR);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
?>

Then inside the private function add:
<?php
function foo() {
   
$this->private_func(__FUNCTION__);
   
# your staff goes here
}
?>

A class A static public function can access to class A private function :

<?php
class A {
    private function
foo()
    {
        print(
"bar");
    }

    static public function
bar($a)
    {
       
$a->foo();
    }
}

$a = new A();

A::bar($a);
?>

It's working.

This refers to previous notes on protected members being manipulated externally:

It is obvious that if you were to allow methods the option of replacing protected variables with external ones it will be possible, but there is no reason not to simply use a protected method to define these, or not to write the code to allow it. Just because it is possible doesn't mean it's a problem, it simply does not allow you to be lax on the security of the class.

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

Private visibility actually force members to be not inherited instead of limit its visibility. There is a small nuance that allows you to redeclare private member in child classes.

<?php

class A
{
private
$prop = 'I am property of A!';
}

class
B extends A
{
public
$prop = 'I am property of B!';
}

$b = new B();
echo
$b->prop; // "I am property of B!"

?>

A note about private members, the doc says "Private limits visibility only to the class that defines the item" this says that the following code works as espected:

<?php
class A {
    private
$_myPrivate="private";

    public function
showPrivate()
    {
        echo
$this->_myPrivate."\n";
    }
}

class
B extends A {
    public function
show()
    {
       
$this->showPrivate();
    }
}

$obj=new B();
$obj->show(); // shows "private\n";
?>

this works cause A::showPrivate() is defined in the same class as $_myPrivate and has access to it.
