When child class inherits from parents class should Protected attributes not be available to child?

[former_member201275]

I have a protected attribute in my parent class. My child class inherits from parent class but I get error message "Access to protected attribute is not allowed".

Please advise. Thank you kindly in advance.

Hi Glen,

you have to access the attribute from inside the method of the child class.

The write you try to execute is from outside of the class and would need public access.
