What is the difference between using




$model->name = 'bob';

and




$model->setAttribute('name', 'bob');

Thanks

Nice question :)

The former calls magic __set(), while the latter assigns the value right to the attributes array (and raises the exception if something goes wrong).

As for me, I redefine __set and __get sometimes, so I can exploit this.
