then ...

I could use a component (is the right OOP pattern word?)
$age = $userObj->dbObj->age
I believe the correct term for this is an object.
but I wanted to hide where the items are coming from. Also i want to be able to just keep adding to the database without having to create gettter/settter functions for everything...
I think python had some nice means of doing get/set functions transparently, does PHP5 have anything like this?
PHP5 does have get and set functions ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php ) however, your problem might be extrapolating all the properties of the object, because if you change your database structure, then you wil have new properties in $dbObj.
