Accessing private object property from other object in PHP

2010-11-16

Last time I wrote about Weirdest PHP construction I’ve ever seen, now I found another unusual PHP solution. PHP offers 3 visibility modifiers: private, protected and public. Private properties and methods can’t be accessed outside the object, as well as from inherited classes. With one exception… They can be accessed by other instances of the same class.
