Using private and protected there seems really weird. >From globals scope, I am allowed to set private and protected properties - but just once? I would assume __construct(protected $bar) would only allow a child class to set that property.. which implies the ctor itself is protected. Also, this seems like a very bad idea. You are encouraging "don't bother validating your data" ideas. -Hannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
