why i can access "protected property of model" in controller directly in codeigniter4 - sandip002 - 03-22-2020
Today,
I'm playing with Codeigniter 4 and create a crud application.
But when I access "MODELS PROTECTED PROPERTIES" directly in the controller it gives me data on why it will not giving any error.
example:
when I try to access " protected $validationRules " property of model it will return array of rules.
I'm not using the " public getValidationRules() " method I'm directly accessing the property and it gives me data.

That’s because of the “magic” __get() function that return the property if it exists:
PHP Code:
if (property_exists($this, $name))
{
return $this->{$name};
}
