I see this all over the place, but I don't think it stores the variable

I am always using 'foo' in conversation and finally said it enough that
the CEO used it in a meeting the other day. Setter functions are cool.

hmmm, who wants to write setters for 100's of properties? ...
see below for an alternative ...





Nevermind, it does need private $foo; it works without it, but not if
you want to use a default from within the class.

if you set private $foo = 'foo';

print $f->__getFoo();
$f->__setFoo('bar');
print $f->__getFoo();

<?php

class Foo
{
        private $foo = 'foo';

        function __get($k)
        {
                if (isset($this->{$k})) {
                        return $this->{$k};
                }

                throw new Exception("non existing property!");        
        }

        function __set($k, $v)
        {
                if (isset($this->{$k})) {
                        $this->{$k} = $v;
                        return;
                }

                throw new Exception("non existing property!");
        }
}

$f = new Foo;
echo $f->foo,"\n";
$f->foo = "bar";
echo $f->foo,"\n";

Yields:
foo
bar
