PHP Access Modifiers

Properties and methods can have access modifiers which control where they can be accessed.

There are three access modifiers:

  • public - the property or method can be accessed from everywhere. This is default
  • protected - the property or method can be accessed within the class and by classes derived from that class
  • private - the property or method can ONLY be accessed within the class
