try this...notice my modification. it clearly shows that __set is NOT called
when setting $obj->h.

class C_Obj
{
public $h=5;
function __set($name, $val)
{
$this->Obj[$name] = $val;
echo '<pre>__set says: ' . $name . '...' . $val . '</pre>';
}
function __get($name)
{
return self::getVal($name);
}
private function getVal($name)
{
return $this->Obj[$name];
}
}
$obj = new C_Obj;
$obj->h=15;
echo '<pre>does NOT trigger __set : ' . $obj->h . '</pre>';
$obj->yourMomma = 'nice lady. no, i really mean it :)';
