Consider below working code :
<?php
class PropertyTest {
/** Location for overloaded data. */
private $data = array();
/** Overloading not used on declared properties. */
public $declared = 1;
/** Overloading only used on this when accessed outside the class. */
private $hidden = 2;
public function __set($name, $value) {
echo "Setting '$name' to '$value'
";
$this->data[$name] = $value;
}
public function __get($name) {
echo "Getting '$name'
";
if (array_key_exists($name, $this->data)) {
return $this->data[$name];
}
$trace = debug_backtrace();
var_dump($trace); die;
trigger_error(
'Undefined property via __get(): ' . $name .
' in ' . $trace[0]['file'] .
' on line ' . $trace[0]['line'],
E_USER_NOTICE);
return null;
}
/** As of PHP 5.1.0 */
public function __isset($name) {
echo "Is '$name' set?
";
return isset($this->data[$name]);
}
/** As of PHP 5.1.0 */
public function __unset($name) {
echo "Unsetting '$name'
";
unset($this->data[$name]);
}
/** Not a magic method, just here for example. */
public function getHidden() {
return $this->hidden;
}
}
echo "<pre>
";
$obj = new PropertyTest;
$obj->a = 1;
echo $obj->a . "
";
var_dump(isset($obj->a));
unset($obj->a);
var_dump(isset($obj->a));
echo "
";
echo $obj->declared . "
";
echo "Let's experiment with the private property named 'hidden':
";
echo "Privates are visible inside the class, so __get() not used...
";
echo $obj->getHidden() . "
";
echo "Privates not visible outside of class, so __get() is used...
";
echo $obj->hidden . "
";
?>
Output :
Setting 'a' to '1'
Getting 'a'
1
Is 'a' set?
bool(true)
Unsetting 'a'
Is 'a' set?
bool(false)
1
Let's experiment with the private property named 'hidden':
Privates are visible inside the class, so __get() not used...
2
Privates not visible outside of class, so __get() is used...
Getting 'hidden'
Notice: Undefined property via __get(): hidden in <file> on line 70 in <file> on line 29
I understood everything in the code. I only have a concern in accessing the private property $hidden
outside the class using magic method __get()(or some other way but in overloading). I mean by usage of Overloading only.
But currently I'm not able to achieve that. Getting User Notice for the same.
