Re: Getters/Setters and parent getter/setter access

This is not a alternate syntax suggestion, but a currently working solution (well partial) <?phptrait Accessors{ public function __get($name) { if ($this->r_property[$name]) return $this->$name; else trigger_error("Access to read protected property");} public function __set($name, $value) { if ($this->w_property[$name]) $this->$name = $value; else  trigger_error("Access to write protected property");}} class OrderLine{ use Accessors; private $r_property = array('price'=>1, 'amount'=>1); private $w_property = array('price'=>1, 'amount'=>1); protected $price; private $amount; public function getTotal() { return $this->price * $this->amount; }} $line = new OrderLine; $line->price = 20;$line->amount = 3; echo "Total cost: ".$line->getTotal();?> You might would like to add as a current solution. -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net 2011/11/19 Clint M Priest <cpriest@zerocue.com>: > The RFC here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax > > Talks about allowing a sub-class to access a parent getter via TimePeriod::$Milliseconds or > possibly parent::$Milliseconds. > > Either of those methods (currently) tries to access a static property in the parent or defined > class.  It would probably break existing code if we tried to make the parent:: or TimePeriod:: > syntax to access the parent accessor. > > Anyone have any suggestions on an alternative syntax? > > I'm sure I could change it so that parent:: or TimePeriod:: from within a getter/setter > would cause it to access the parent getter/setter but that would create an inconsistency within the > language. > > Ideas? > > -Clint >
