PHP 5 inheritance

[static77]

Hi everybody! 😉

Why this piece of code (of course an example) does not work on php5beta2..?
In java this would be allowed...

class Test
{
protected function printMyName()
{
print "Static 77\n";
}
}

class Test1 extends Test {}

$tt = new Test1();
$tt->printMyName();

it prints:
Fatal error: Call to protected method test::printMyName() from context '' in etc.etc.

Thank you all!

Fatal error: Call to protected method test : : printMyName() from context '' etc etc

Eheh!

A protected method is only accessible inside the class it's defined in, or a class that extends the class it's defined in.

You're attempting to use it as though it were a public method, hence the error.

Thanks a lot!
