Given the class definition: <?php class Caller { private $x = array('a' => false);
function __set($name, $value) { echo "setting\n"; $this->x[$name] = 'foo'; // intentially ignore value } function __get($name) { echo "getting\n"; return $this->x[$name]; } } $foo = new Caller(); $b = $foo->a = 'bar'; echo "b is " . $b . "\n"; /* output: setting b is bar */ ?> I sort of expected both __set and __get to be called. Is it concievable to have them both called? The other alternative If possible, is allowing a return value from __set() and using that value for the rest of the expression.
