• protected - the property or method can be accessed within the class and by classes derived from that class
• private - the property or method can ONLY be accessed within the class

<?php  
class parent  
{  
    public $name="websolutionstuff";  
    function_display()  
    {  
        echo $this->name."<br/>";  
    }  
}  

class child extends parent
{  
    function show()
