class Foo { protected $bar; protected $foobar; public function construct($bar, $foobar) { // .... } } |
and its FormType

class DateTimeInterval { private $from; private $to; private $allDayLong; public function setFrom(\DateTime $from) { if ($this->isAllDayLong()) { $from->setTime(0, 0, 0); } $this->from = $from; return $this; } public function getFrom() { ... } // omitted public function setTo(\DateTime $to) { if ($this->isAllDayLong()) { $to->setTime(23, 59, 59); } $this->to = $to; return $this; } public function getTo() { ... } // omitted public function allDayLong() { $this->allDayLong = true; } public function isAllDayLong() { return $this->allDayLong; } } |
