php - Unable to view property inherited from parent class

I have created a bank account class with the following variables, the $Balance variable is private so i use a setter and getter function to access the private property of balance.

class BankAccount
{
public $HoldersName;
public $AccountNumber;
public $SortCode;
private $Balance = 1;

public $APR = 0;
public $Transactions = []; //array defined.

public function __construct($HoldersName, $AccountNumber, $SortCode, $Balance = 1) //constructor where i.e. HoldersName is the same as the variable $HoldersName.
{ //constructor automatically called when object is created.
echo "Holders Name: " . $this->HoldersName = $HoldersName . "
";
echo "Account Number: " . $this->AccountNumber = $AccountNumber . "
";
echo "Sort Code: " . $this->SortCode = $SortCode . "
";
$this->Balance = $Balance >= 1 ? $Balance : 1;
}



public function set_Balance($Balance) //SET balance.
{
return $this->Balance=$Balance;
}

public function get_Balance() //GET balance.
{
return $this->Balance; //Allows us to access the prviate property of $Balance.

}

}


The SavingsAccount class extends BankAccount so it inherits everything from the BankAccount class. I created a function to calculate the interest i.e. the balance 6800 * (0.8+0.25) * 1.



class SavingsAccount extends BankAccount
{
public $APR = 0.8;

public $APRPaymentPreference;
public $ExtraBonus = 0.25;

public function CalculateInterest()
{
$this->Balance = $this->Balance * ($this->APR + $this->ExtraBonus) * 1; //this is where i get the error now

}

public function FinalSavingsReturn()

{

}
}


Here I created an instance of the class SavingsAccount, with the balance of 6800, i tried to call the function SavingsAccount::CalculateInterest() but came up with this error:




NOTICE Undefined property: SavingsAccount::$Balance on line number 42





//define objects
$person2 = new SavingsAccount ('Peter Bond', 987654321, '11-11-11', 6800); //create instance of class SavingsAccount
echo "Interest:";
print_r ($person2->CalculateInterest());

Those brackets declare an empty, inline constructor. In that case, with them, the constructor does exist, it merely does nothing more than t...
