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

$foo:

class Foo {
private $foo;

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
