Re: A question of style - Properties

chuck, actually my question is slightly different. in my object, i have "properties" that may trigger actions in the library that implements it. as a simple example setting $url_fetcher->url = "http://php.net" would load the page into an internal buffer. the code is written in C so, im talking properties in the zend "overloaded" sense of the term (for instance in the COM module) . <chuck@horde.org> wrote in message news:988634376.3aed5d0821378@marina.horde.org... > Quoting Mika Tuupola <tuupola@appelsiini.net>: > > Here's a rule of thumb: if the property is something that should be exposed as > part of an object's API, then there should be get/set methods for it.
