It's been a while since I posted any updates about this, a few individuals have been asking about it privately and wanting me to get it out the door for PHP 5.5 release. It's come a long way since the last time I posted about it.
RFC Document: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-as-implemented Example Usage: class TimePeriod { private $Seconds = 3600; public $Hours { get { return $this->Seconds / 3600; } set { $this->Seconds = $value; } isset<http://www.php.net/isset> { return isset<http://www.php.net/isset>($this->Seconds); } unset<http://www.php.net/unset> { unset<http://www.php.net/unset>($this->Seconds); } } } Changes / Updates * isset/unset accessor functions now implemented (object & static context, auto implementations, etc) * static accessor now fully functional * Reference functionality validated, tests written * All operators have been tested, tests written * read-only and write-only keywords: Added explanation of reasons for inclusion at the top of the appropriate RFC section * Tested for speed, approaches or meets __get() speed. Internally things have changed quite a bit * cleaned up and simplified * had been using 4 to 5 additional fn_flag slots, now down to two (READ_ONLY and WRITE_ONLY) * the automatic implementations now compiled internal php code, this greatly simplified that part of the code and future proofed it. The code is available at the url below and is up to date with master, all tests pass. https://github.com/cpriest/php-src I'd like to get this project wrapped up in time to make it to the 5.5 release, only a few things remain to be completed/updated: * Check on reflection code written prior to major changes (tests still pass) * Add a few more reflection functions that were requested In total there are 79 tests for this new functionality, if there are any others that I have missed, please let me know. -Clint
