Now $surface shows us the following from var_dump.... object(surface)#1 (3) { ["area"]=> NULL ["width"]=> int(4) ["height"]=> int(2) } Sounds like a reasonable approach to me... var_dump()

1) Should not invoke the getters.. 2) Should indicate that they are property accessors (perhaps not even show the underlying guarded property?) Possibly: object(surface)#1 (3) { ["area":accessor]=> NULL ["width":accessor]=> int(4) ["height":accessor]=> int(2) } This could easily be changed if nobody had any further disagreements with this? Only issue I could see would be existing code that may parse var_dump() might break if it wasn't written to accept something other that private/protected... -- -Clint
