static is a class member, not an object member.
protected means that only this class and derived classes can access it.

When a static class allows derived classes to access members, it is written like this

<code>    class A
    {
        public static $abc;
    
        protected static $bbc;
        
        public static function a()
        {
            return self.$bbc;
        }
    }

可以直接 A.$abc来访问$abc这个变量
A.a() 可以得到A.$bbc</code>

Class member variables, the control of this variable can only be controlled by functions, so it can be used when querying the code for set get.
Because only get set will change the value
