Re: Do you use _set?

..oO(news.telus.net)

i don't like the magic function because it limits the ability
for ide to list all the class variables.

I don't use __set() at the moment, but its counterpart __get(). In my
own component framework it makes it very convenient to directly access
subcomponents without having to explicitly call a function everytime:

Without magic:

$foo->getComponentById('this')->getComponentById('that')->doSomething();

With magic:

$foo->this->that->doSomething();
