## #57476 — Christoph Rosse — 2012-01-23T08:10:48+00:00

Hi,

I did not follow the whole getter / setter discussion completely and 
just have read the RFC 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-as-implemented .

I just wanted to know if the new getter/setter syntax will provide 
getter/setter methods as well, so I can use fluent-interfaces?

$foo->setBar("a")->doSomething();

Or will I have to write getter / setter methods myself if I want to do this?

Thanks,
christoph

Your code example below (with an appropriate getter written) would become:

$foo->__setBar('a')->doSomething() and would work if you return $this at the end of each of your setters.
