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         


        

Answer 1

Your title implies that you want to make -the class (not object)- public, as opposed to "internal"/etc.. All classes are public in PHP.

Your question says that you want to get around method/property scope (disagrees with title). You didn't say what you've tried. You also didn't indicate whether this is a class you developed or not. If you have control over it, add a freaking method or two to allow you to get the data. If you don't, then inspect the methods, and/or attempt reflection. These answers apply to every OOP language in existence.

Before asking other people, read the documentation.
