Classes in PHP are understandably different (seeing this behavior) from the
Object Model laid out in C++. This at least has become obvious to me over
the last two days. Coming from C++, and I understand PHP is a scripting
langauge, I would have gotten an error since TSample is a class with just a
blank constructor and NO properties available to be SET. See my point. I
also am aware that OOP is somewhat new to PHP unlike other languages (C++
for instance).

Even with that being said ... some aspects of PHP's looseness are
appreciated while others (like this one) are not. My preference ... it may
not be yours.

I appreciate the reply.
