Yeh that seems to work fine thanks. I thought protected was declared
in the parent class but when inherited it would then be available to
the subclass. I need to properly understand visibility better i think,
I used objects in php4 and i done a little oop when at uni but this is
the first time ive really started to seriously start using proper oo.
