The overload will do no good as both __get and __set are ONLY called when a
NON-existing interface (property, function, etc.) is referenced by a caller.

To the op...why not use an array whose keys are the field names? Is there
some kind of validation you are going for if a caller changes a value? If
not, an array is the easiest to implement.

Yes you are right, I think an Array would be the better way, I had not
thought of that. He can assemble his list or variables, send them in one
lump sum and extract them in the class. I may have to play around with
that idea for a bit, may come in useful sometime.
