How to make an object public?

Question

how would I go about getting around the \"protected\" so I can output the data.

tabs\\api\\property\\Property Object ( 
    [id:protected] => 90_4_HH 
    [pr

I did not fully understand your question, but if you want to access protected properties from outside the class, you have to use Reflection:

$reflObj = new ReflectionObject($property);
$props = $reflObj->getProperties(ReflectionProperty::IS_PROTECTED);

foreach ($props as $prop) {
  $prop->setAccessible(true);
  echo $prop->getName() . ":" . $prop->getValue($property), "\n";
}

Sample for outputting the address:

$reflObj = new ReflectionObject($property);
$addrProp = $reflObj->getProperty('address');

$addrProp->setAccessible(true);
echo $addrProp->getValue($property);
