How to make "magic" methods in PHP?

Question

PHP

It is necessary to make it possible to call the properties of the class through "magic" methods (for example, like calling the properties of models in Magento)
Example:
the MyClass class has an awesome_data property, you need to make a "magic" method to call this property: setting this property: MyClass::setAwesomeData()
How can this be done?
pS: a class can have any number of properties and they can be called differently, but methods should not be written for them manually.
ppS: the best example is calling data from a model in Magento

Answer 1

What you need...

class MyClass
{

   public function __call($method = null, $data = null)
   {
     $parts = preg_split('/([A-Z][^A-Z]*)/', $method, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
     $type  = array_shift($parts);
  
     if ($type != 'get' && $type != 'set') {
       return;
     }
  
       $varName = strtolower(implode('_', $parts));

       switch ($type) {
           case 'set' :
               $this->$varName = $data;
           break;
    
           case 'get': 
              return isset($this->$varName) ? $this->$varName : null;
           break;
        }
  
     return;
    }
}

And what's the problem?
You have obviously already heard about magical methods.

Answer 3

<?php

  class MyClass {

    private
      $data = array();

    public function __construct() {
      $this->data = array(
        'test' 	=> 'data test',
        'test2'	=> 'data test 2'
      );
    }

    public function __call( $method = null, $data = null ){
      $type = strtolower( substr( $method, 0, 2 ) );
      switch( type ) {
        case 'set': {
          $this->data[strtolower( substr( $method, 3 ) )] = $data;
          break;
        }
        case 'get': {
          $key = strtolower( substr( $method, 3 ) );
          return isset( $this->data[$key] ) ? $this->data[$key] : null;
          break;
        }
      }
      return null;
    }

  }

  $object = new MyClass();

  print $object->getTest(); // data test
  print $object->getTest2(); // data test 2

  $object->setFoo( 'bar' );

  print $object->getFoo(); // bar
  print $object->getFoo2(); // null

PS did not test
PS 2 wildly I apologize :) I did not understand what I was writing at all .. the end of the working day, no matter how.

Answer 4

class Test {

  static $data = array();
  
  public static function __callStatic($name, $params) {

    $propName = substr($name, 3);

    if (substr($name, 0, 3) == "set") {
      return static::$data[$propName] = $params[0];		
    }				
    return static::$data[$propName];
  }
}


Test::setMyName("Bob");
Test::getMyName(); //Bob
