As of PHP 8.1.0, calling this method has no effect; all methods are invokable by default.

(https://www.php.net/manual/en/reflectionmethod.setaccessible.php and https://www.php.net/manual/en/reflectionproperty.setaccessible.php).

There're even plans to deprecate the method in PHP 8.5: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_5#extreflection_deprecations


          setAccessible() does not have any effect as of PHP 8.1
