How to get protected property of object in PHP

by

Here’s the really simple example (with no error checking) of how to use ReflectionClass:

function accessProtected($obj, $prop) {
  $reflection = new ReflectionClass($obj);
  $property = $reflection->getProperty($prop);
  $property->setAccessible(true);
  return $property->getValue($obj);
}

I know you said you were limited to 5.2, but that was 2 years ago, 5.5 is the oldest supported version and I’m hoping to help people with modern versions.
