i think extends works the other way around
"class Super extends Sub", means that Super will inherit Sub stuff, not
the opposite
so, when you do:
> $foo = new Sub();
you are instantiating Sub, which doesn't inherit Super, ending up
without the __get and __set methods

try:
<?
class Super
{
        function __get($prop)
        {
                echo "Property $prop called\n";
        }

        function __set($prop, $val)
        {
                echo "Property $prop set to $val\n";
        }
}

class Sub extends Super
{
}

$foo = new Sub();

$foo->someProp = 10;
echo $foo->someProp;
?>

Description:
------------
the __get() and __set() functions work fine to overload a class when
that class has no parent class.  However, if the class you put __get()
and __set() in has a parent class, they are not called whenever a
property is called.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Sub
{
}

class Super extends Sub
{
        function __get($prop)
        {
                echo "Property $prop called\n";
        }

        function __set($prop, $val)
        {
                echo "Property $prop set to $val\n";
        }
}


$foo = new Sub();

$foo->someProp = 10;
echo $foo->someProp;

Expected result:
----------------
Property someProp set to 10
Property someProp called

Actual result:
--------------
10
