Not to throw a wrench in the wheel, but properties seem to be the more appropriate pattern. Especially when taking PHP's object overloading abilities into play. Accessors are a Java paradigm that's as half-baked as it is repetitive, when you have overloading you no longer need property accessors. I vote (not to annoy george or anything, I'll write the code myself) that we use properties and overloading. It will make it much easier to instrospect the object with var_dump() and print_r(), and its the cleaner implementation....It's not an annoyance - it's not my spec, I'm just implementing it. I'm happy to change the code to work via properties instead, it's not a major change. I would like to settle on a concensus first. George
