Doctrine 2 Whats the Recommended Way to Access Properties?

Question

I remember reading that in Doctrine 2 models, I should not set properties/fields public. How then would you expose these fields? The sandbox used get*() & <

Answer 1

Rather than having seperate getter and setters, or even using the magic functions.. Is there problem with having something like this in the class

public function Set($attrib, $value)
{
    $this->$attrib = $value;    
}

public function Get($attrib)
{
    return $this->$attrib;
}   

It makes it much easy to access the attributes and means they be dynamically set from key-pair arrays.. any comments? or alternative suggestions?
