Hi there
I'm learnin' myself some OO programming (finally), and was wondering if
someone could briefly tell me why when setting up my object...
$p = new Person();
.... that the following both print "Bob" to the screen:
print $p->name;
print $p->Name;
The method in the class is getName, so why would "name" (lowercase) work
here? All my experience in PHP says that uppercase/lowercase is vitally
important!
Here's the class:
class Person {
function __get($property) {
$method = "get{$property}";
if(method_exists($this,$method)) {
return $this->$method();
}
}
function getName() {
return "Bob";
}
function getAge() {
return 44;
}
}
