If at all possible you're going to want to use PHP5 if you're doing OOP. I use it all the time in 4, but you're going to have to deal with references until you are sick and it is just annoying when most of those "problems" have been alleviated. Also I would recommend always defining all of the class variables that it will possibly use. Some of the code I write lives for years and working over dozens of different projects it is impossible to remember everything completely. Also it will help avoid bugs such as undefined variables and all of that. The get and set method's you wrote are part of the concept of encapulation.
