I would start off with a simple base class like this:
abstract class Base
{
public function __construct()
{
}
public function __destruct()
{
}
public function __toString()
{
return '<pre>' . print_r( $this, TRUE ) . '</pre>';
}
public function __get( $key )
{
return isset( $this->$key )
? $this->$key
: NULL;
}
public function __set( $key, $value )
{
$this->$key = $value;
}
}
