ok, so if we were talking Java, perhaps you are looking for information that allows you to build 'accessor' and 'mutator' methods? If so, then your example should work (syntax aside). Here's another 'test' example that I just whipped up and tested that shows you can use any method name you wish. <?php class test { private $thing; function setThing($val) { $this->thing = $val; } function getThing() { return $this->thing; } } $t = new test; // Show that thing is empty print $t->getThing() . "\n"; // Set thing to 'Thing' $t->setThing('Thing'); // show that thing contains 'Thing' print $t->getThing() . "\n"; ?> If I'm still on the wrong path I apologize. I probably shouldn't be trying to provide advice on cold medicine ;-) On 9/22/06, Chris Boget <chris.boget@xxxxxxxx> wrote:

Pay particular attention to how both $bob and $Bob are defined. class MyClass { private $bob; public $Bob { set( $var ) { $this->bob = $var; } get() { return $this->bob; } } } thnx, Chris
