Re: [PHP] Object method overloading

What is the point of overloading an object again?

 Hello,

 I realize this stuff isn't set in stone yet, but might I eventually
 expect the following to make two assignments rather than one?

 ?php

 class overload_test
 {
function __set($name, $value) {
echo __set($name, $value)\n;
$this-$name = $value;
return true;
}
 }

 overload('overload_test');

 $t = new overload_test;
 $t-a = 'Foo';
 $t-b[0] = 'Bar';
 print_r($t);

 ?

 Output:
 __set(a, Foo)
 overload_test Object
 (
[a] = Foo
 )

 Thanks,
 -Dan

Well, for instance, you could have the __get and __set functions execute a
SQL query or go to a file or whatever. The point, as it seems to me anyway,
is to enable a potentially complex internal implementation be exposed with a
simple interface. Now as for the implications of that, it's debatable. If
nobody is ever going to look at or reuse your code, it's arguable such a
feature merits a second glance. Personally, I appreciate these kinds of
language features, but perhaps that's because I learned most of what I know
about programming in C++.
