Which neatly demonstrates PHPs built in methods for objects - but is
probably overkill as a solution to the problem. I don't really
know .NET but I suspect this class stores a value and when a new value
is set it returns the previous value. In which case:

class Period
{
private $_second;
function Seconds($value)
{
$prev=$this->_second;
$this->_second=(double)$value;
return($prev);
}
}
