Errrr. No. Oft-times the property and method have the same name as the a "getter" and I like it that way. I don't really want to re-factor my code because you think I should re-name everything all goofy. :-) > I personally think the BC breaks here are worth it -- they make the > behavior more predictable, easier to document, and easier to > understand. If a developer can't understand that properties and methods are different beasts, then I'm not sure they ought to be using OOP at all... But I'm an old Lisp hacker, and am more befuddled by JS et al cramming everything into one bucket than this separation of church and state... :-) -- brain cancer update: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/search/label/brain%20tumor Donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FS9NLTNEEKWBE -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
