Isn't a mix of OO and procedural pretty standard?

I just found a small community site for developers, registered for that shit aaaaaaaaaaaaand... discovered that the site stores user passwords in plain fucking text. Fuck that shit.

So apparently I've noticed people complaining about this on Hacker News and I feel like I should start using a password manager. There's just so much inertia to get over before getting started.

On a similar vein a lot of people seem to use unique email accounts e.g. "myusername_teamliquid@gmail.com" because they've been noticing that non-big websites will sell your email, but if you use an unique email you can tell which website is doing that.

Just how the fuck setters and getters work in PHP? What is the point of the magical setters and getters? What the fuck is this, Java setters and getters are much much easier than this...

As far as I understand, regular getter and setter methods in PHP work the same as in any other language: you wrap the access to a hidden(private/protected) class property in a class method.

If magic methods like __get and/or __set are implemented, they are called when you try to access an inaccessible class property/method directly (inaccessible = is not public OR DOES NOT EXIST). This allows you to:
- react to inaccessible properties/methods being called
- dynamically add properties and methods
- manipulate properties directly as though they were public properties (but secretly, you're just calling the __get or __set method)

In short, these are all very shitty things that nobody needs in the first place. It's called magic for a reason, stay away for it.

... accessing inaccessible properties? Isn't the whole point of having inaccessible properties to NOT access it?

Yea this is likely not the important part of the error message. (In fact if you run with sudo the bit about a file not found may go away depending on your setup).

Your question is about the 'No such file or directory.' or about the reason of the abort?
