<?php
    protected function accessToProtectedVariable(string $name): bool
    {
        switch ($name) {
            case 'prot_var':
                $this->prot_var = 42;

The property prot_var does not exist. Although not strictly required by PHP, it is generally a best practice to declare properties explicitly.

                return true;
            case 'unloadable':

The function implicitly returns null when this case condition does not match. This is incompatible with the type-hinted return boolean. Consider adding a default case to the switch.

                return false;
        }
