Hi @uaoleg. protected string $bar; can be accessed in Foo or sub-classes. It doesn't matter whether it is accessed on $this or some other object. Since the property is declared and accessible, __get/__set is not called. If you want __get/__set always to be called, you can rename the declared property to something like $_bar.

For context:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.get

__get() is utilized for reading data from inaccessible (protected or private) or non-existing properties.
