Subject: Re: Adding a property to an object
From: mrice@rcs.us ("Matthew C. Rice")

David,


    I personally have not read that book, as I actually heard pertaining 
to objects ( where I too have had some issues ) it wasn't really a 
terrific reference. Though if this is not the case, I would love to hear 
otherwise..

    I don't know if this is the "right" way, but a way to go about doing 
what you want can be done in the PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION() with something like

zend_declare_property_string(zend_class_entry* ce, char* name, int 
name_length, char* value,  ZEND_ACC_PRIVATE);
