Even better:

class MyClass {
private $my_array;

public function __construct() { // Constructor
$this->my_array = array('Mon', 'Tues', 'Wed', 'Thurs', 'Friday',
'Sat', 'Sun');
}
public function __get($i) {
// if ($i >= 0 && $i < count($this->my_array)) // Verify index
if(array_key_exists($i, $this->my_array)){ // For keys
that are non-numerical
return $this->my_array[$i];}
else
return null; // Out of range or non-existant
}

}

I get it now (no pun intended).
