<title>Dynamic properties</title>
<para>
If trying to assign to a non existant property on an &object;,
PHP will automatically create a corresponding property.
This dynamically created property will <emphasis>only</emphasis> be
available on this class instance.
</para>

<warning>
<simpara>
Dynamic properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2.0.
It is recommended to declare the property instead.
To handle arbitrary property names, the class should implement the magic
methods <link linkend="object.get">__get()</link> and
<link linkend="object.set">__set()</link>.
At last resort the class can be marked with the
<code>#[\AllowDynamicProperties]</code> attribute.
