Question

here is some php code:

class A {
  private function action(){
    echo 1;
  }
  public static function callAction(A $a){
    $a->action();
  }
}

$a = new A;
A::callAction($a);

can someone explain me why does object method is vissible from static method context how does following code works in other languages ???

Answer 1

The keyword private means the function is accessible from within this class only, not from within this object. The behaviour is the same in all languages I know.
