Perhaps, but in general it's considered bad practise to access class
properly without a getter, unless they are defined as public statics.
Anyways, when you don't want to define setters, you can use overloading
by adding the following method to your class:
public function __call($function, $arguments) {
$function = strtolower($function);
$var = preg_replace('/^get/', '', $function);
if (isset($this->$var)) {
return $this->$var;
}
}
This way you can use method calls like $client->getName() to get a
property with the name $name, $client->getAnother_name() to get a
property with the name $another_name etcetera.
And, as you have might have guessed by now, there isn't a way to access
teh class properties directly as setClass() only exports class methods.
