I would start off with a simple base class like this:

abstract class Base
{
    public function __construct()
    {

    }

    public function __destruct()
    {

    }

    public function __toString()
    {
        return '<pre>' . print_r( $this, TRUE ) . '</pre>';
    }

    public function __get( $key )
    {
        return isset( $this->$key )
            ? $this->$key
            : NULL;
    }
    
    public function __set( $key, $value )
    {
        $this->$key = $value;
    }
}
