<?php
  
// Initializing a user-defined class Company
class Company
{
    public $SizeOfGeeksforGeeks = 13;
    protected $SizeOfGFG = 3;
}
  
// Using ReflectionProperty 
$A = new ReflectionProperty('Company', 'SizeOfGeeksforGeeks');
$B = new ReflectionProperty('Company', 'SizeOfGFG');
  
// Calling the getName() function
$C = $A->getName();
$D = $B->getName();
  
// Getting the name of the specified property.

    protected $SizeOfHR = 2;
}
class Department2
{
    public $SizeOfCoding = 6;
}
class Department3
{
    private $SizeOfMarketing = 9;
}
  
// Using ReflectionProperty over above classes
$A = new ReflectionProperty('Department1', 'SizeOfHR');
$B = new ReflectionProperty('Department2', 'SizeOfCoding');
$C = new ReflectionProperty('Department3', 'SizeOfMarketing');
  
// Calling the getName() function and
