#46949 [NEW]: New "property" keyword token

From: fatih at tullab dot com Operating system: Windows+Linux PHP version: 5.3.0alpha3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: New "property" keyword token Description: ------------ Hi, It is hard to write and read this getter and setter codes: private $_aProperty = ""; public getAProperty(){ return $this->_aProperty; } public setAProperty($value){ $this->_aProperty = $value; } And if we want to use this getter and setter, we will write like this: $value = $anObject->getAProperty(); $anObject->setAProperty("something"); It is hard to read and confusing because of "set" and "get" prefixes. But if we have a "property" keyword, we can use same name without "get" and "set" prefixes. class AClass { private $_name; protected getName(){ return $this->_name; } protected setName($value){ $this->_name = $value } /*****/ public property Name get getName set setName; /*****/ } anObject = new AClass(); anObject->Name = "something"; //triggering setName function. echo anObject->Name; //triggering getName function.
