If the members are private, or otherwise inaccessible, __get() and __set() are called - I've used this in a few places to provide a "read-only" member variable, e.g.: class foo { private $bar=0; public function __get($nm) { return $this->$nm; } public function __set($nm,$val) { if ($nm != 'bar') { $this->$nm = $val; } } }
