More sytematically it would be:

general:
$rowObj->setField('title', 'My new title value');
$rowObj->getField('title');


special:
$rowObj->setTitle('My new title value');
$rowObj->getTitle();


That is the way JavaBeans do it.

You normally have to hardcode each get and set function.

With function overloading it is possible to automate it:

It would look like this then:

Setter:

$rowObj->title = 'My new title value';

Getter:

$title = $rowObj->title;

Simple, smart!!!

Some further steps and we come close to the most attractiv features of 
rapid development of ruby on rails.
