Let's see, this gives a good reference:

<?php
class Upset {
public $pubvar;
private $privvar;
function __set($n, $v) {
echo "setting variable $n to: $v\n";
$this->$n = $v;
}
function __get($n) {
echo "getting variable $n\n";
if (isset($this->$n)) return $this->$n;
else return null;
}
}
$c = new Upset();
$c->pubvar = 'Try this';
$c->privvar = ' private ';
$c->adhoc = ' and this ';
echo "Values are now $c->pubvar $c->privvar $c->adhoc\n";
------------------- Result is: ----
setting variable privvar to: private
setting variable adhoc to: and this
getting variable privvar
Values are now Try this private and this
