Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-19 02:27:27] bastard dot internets at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Suggest breaking /language.oop5.overloading.php and /language.oop5.magic.php manual pages into a group of sub pages, dedicating one page per magic method. There is quite a lot of information missing in the docs on the behavior of magic methods, such as __get()'s special involvement with objects and arrays that are locked properties, __set()'s lack of involvement with objects and arrays that are locked properties, being able to define magic method function signatures in interfaces, being able to use __toString() to do something like 'echo new Test;', being able to define '&__get()' to return a locked property by reference, etc. It would help to expand on the special behavior of each magic method, but the current pair of pages are getting too long and duplicating information, especially with all the user comments.
