How to use a protected function from another class - JerryCode - 08-03-2020
Class A
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use CodeIgniter\Controller;
class A extends Controller
{
protected function a()
{
return 'a';
}
}
Class B：
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use CodeIgniter\Controller;
use App\Controllers\A;
class Test extends Controller
{
private $a;
function __construct()
{
$this->a= new A();
}
function b(){
$b = $this->a->a();
return $a;
}
}
Error
Call to protected method...
How can I get the 'a' in Class B

You don't get access to a() just because you extend from the same base class. You should probably look into using traits instead.
