[BNM] Dumb PHP question

[Richard Maynard / Wessex Networks]

As in constants (public static final)? Sure, they have their purpose.  Is
that what the PHP $object->value should be equivalent to in Java?  If so, I
think I'm correct in saying they should not be "set" outside of the class or
modified publicly.

Richard.

Isn't the automatic use of getter and setter methods the last
refuge for those that don't really know when to use public properties?
