storing nonsense variables? about phpari HOT 5 CLOSED

Actually, this is a little remnant from a previous (unpublished) version. Initially, this library was a part of a larger library called CodeIgniter. The idea that you would only access the various parts of the library via getters and setters, and the private declarations were part of that model. As we migrated out of CodeIgniter, this kind'a got left as-is. Technically, it can be removed completely, however, as we may still want to enable some get/set methodology in the phpari class - we decided to leave those in for now.

i see, i am very familiar with getters/setters, but this library is very basic and stand alone library, i dont think that this library need this support, on the other hand it is a few lines of code, i can write them, but still there is a lot of people who dont like this approach and the functions is quite straight to problem, no magic, no questions, just one way how to do it
