PHP 5 DOM and exposing properties

Hello!

Seems that PHP gets more and more object oriented, which is good.

I am now running a course in PHP, using PHP 5, where we are going to
use the DOM interface. I am trying to teach them good OO practices,
meaning that we insistently hide properties and expose them as get or
set methods.

Looking at the PHPs DOM implementation, I see that many of the
properties are exposed directly, without even offering get methods.

1. Is there something I am misunderstandin g orotherwise missing? (I
havenot used DOM in PHP before).

2.This poses a pedagogical problem for me as a teacher. How do I
explain this contradiction to my students?

Thanks

Michael

I have a class called 'PrimaryKey' that represents the primary key of a table. PrimaryKeys can only be created and the class only implements .ToString(). The PrimaryKey class internally stores the data as either a int or a Guid depending on the structure of the database. If we simply used int to represent a primary key, rather than this PrimaryKey class then programmers could do things like performing mathematically operations on the...

Hi everyone, I'm writing a webservice where I'm trying to expose a framework that contains a number of classes which have read-only properties.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
