Getting protected values from object Facebook API (PHP)

Question

How to get the protected values from the object below FB returns in their API?

Facebook\Authentication\AccessToken Object

(

    [value:protected] => AAAAAAA

    [expiresAt:protected] => DateTime Object

        (

            [date] => 2017-11-30 19:27:26.000000

            [timezone_type] => 3

            [timezone] => UTC

        )



)

I tried like this:

$var->value

or

$var->expiresAt->date

but doesn't work.

The Facebook API encapsulates its properties, so you need to use the getters. For example, you can get the expiresAt property with the getter:

var_dump($accessToken->getExpiresAt()->format("d/m/Y H:i:s")); // string(19) "30/11/2017 16:43:11"

The same goes for value and the rest of the properties.
