Coming from strongly typed languages, I'm uncomfortable with the magic getter and setter methods of PHP. What is the motivation behind implementing them into the language and what are the general recommendations regarding using them?
Edit:
I understand the motivation behind using getters and setters in general. I'm interested in the motivation behind using magic getter and setter methods (as opposed to setProperty($property) and getProperty() methods).
分享 I see PHP magic getters and setters as one of its sickness.
When a programmer needs to deal with strings inside the code, he and his team starts making mistakes... (this is y I think you should avoid as much as you can from assoc arrays... it is not safe)
The IDE
When you type in your editor $a->get than you get a list of getters and you don't need to remember the exact case of the class member. if a programmer's life wouldn't be easy, it wont be easy for the application.
The programming
In most languages, getters and setters are actually a functions where you can add some small logic, it is not so wisely done in PHP.
The overhead
Every PHP magic function has some performance issues.
This is my opinion....
