Question

I have a class with a private function that i don’t want to be called directly.

Example class:

class Importer{
    private function import(){}
}

Now i want to send a parameter passed to __autoload() to import function of Importer class.
I also know regularly is impossible and illogical to call a private function but do you know any solution or trick to keep import() private or preventing direct access ?

Answer 1

class Importer {
    public function __construct() {
        spl_autoload_register( array($this, 'import') );
    }

    private function import($class) {
        include $class . '.php';
    }
}

$importer = new Importer();

$obj = new testclass();

var_dump($obj);

Output

object(testclass)#2 (0) { }
