What do you think, good idea or bad idea?

<?php

class SomeClass
{
  public function __call($name, $args)
  {
    if (isset($args[0])) {
      $this->$name = $args[0];
      return;
    }

    return $this->$name;
  }
}

Thus you can do:

$user->first_name("justin");

Or:

print $user->first_name();

Kind of reminds me of that song.

• No late static binding in PHP 5 :(
• Load object by id + database call or by array?
• I heart foreach
• Surprising change in PHP’s protected visibility between 5.1 and 5.2
• encapsulation is wonderful
