1.2.1009. Property Used Above

Property used in the parent classes. If the definition of the property is in the child class, then the parent should not know about it and make usage of it.

It may also be used in the current class, or its children, though this is not reported by this analyzer.

<?php

class A {
    public function foo() {
        $this->pb++;
    }
}

class B extends A {
    protected $pb = 0;       // property     used above
    protected $pb2 = 0;      // property NOT used above
}

?>
