Note Submitter: maciej at killer-robot dot net Reason: 5 ---- Just a note in the interest of sparing people some confusion if they are coming from or reading about other object-oriented languages: Object "overloading" in PHP has nothing to do with overloading as it is commonly understood. Normally, "overloading" refers to the ability to declare multiple functions with the same name, which get called based on the number/type of parameters -- this does not exist in PHP. In PHP, "overloading" is just a mechanism for providing handlers for access to missing methods/variables.
