Getter and Setter?

Question

I\'m not a PHP developer, so I\'m wondering if in PHP is more popular to use explicit getter/setters, in a pure OOP style, with private fields (the way I like):

Answer 1

You can use php magic methods __get and __set.

$property;
    }
  }

  public function __set($property, $value) {
    if (property_exists($this, $property)) {
      $this->$property = $value;
    }

    return $this;
  }
}
?>
