Re: RFC: Property get/set syntax

Hi all, Has array access been considered for properties? I can see a good use for this for cross-referencing objects. class Parent { private $_children = array(); public $children { offsetSet { $value->parent = $this; $this->_children[$key] = $value; } offsetUnset { $value->parent = null; unset($this->_children[$key]; } // etc. } } $parent = new Parent(); $child = new Child(); $parent->children[] = $child; // $child->parent === $parent Cheers, Bernhard 2012/7/9 Clint Priest <cpriest@zerocue.com>: > I've just recently had my second child and closed on a new house, so been a bit busy. > I'll be working to finish up what's left in the coming weeks. > > Right now I'm told there are some conflicts with a merge from master that I have to > resolve, then the fork will be ready for playing around with.
