__get and __set ??

Hi.

Can someone please explain how they work?

PHP Code:


		
			
private $tables = array();

public function __set($field, $value) {



$this->tables[$field] = $value;



}



public function __get($field) {



return $this->tables[$field];



}

PHP Code:


		
			
$object->user_name = 'user_name';

$object->user_reg_date = 'register_date';

That would set tables['user_name'] to user_name, and tables['user_reg_date'] to register_date.

However, how do I GET them??

PHP Code:


		
			
echo $object->user_reg_date;

???

Here's another very useful 'tutorial' to learn the Magic functions!

I don't see a point in using set. How can you set variables which doesn't exists in the class?

Magic methods, Haris. Crazy, but it's what PHP have gone for. Makes things like this easier if you wish to simply set and get many variables.

But I'm not setting a variable? =//

I'm just assigning a value to a key in the array tables...
