Thank you to all who responded. I was able to come up with a solution that works for what I need. Before I get there, as @PeeHaa stated, the __get and __set magic methods are the way to go here. However, to reach the stated goal of the original post, we require an object hierarchy. As far as I can tell, that's how SimpleXML is able to do what I described in my original post and subsequent edits, again alluded to by @PeeHaa in a comment. My original idea is indeed impossible [deep sigh of regret]. Below is a very primitive view of what I'm going to do to accomplish this. I've done some pre-work and it appears to work as expected. Obviously, I am going to fill this out and refine it to fit my specific needs. It is also missing some sub-object creation code and sub-type intelligence in the interest of brevity. <pre><code>class Foo { protected $_value; protected $children = array(); public function __construct($value) { $this->_value = $value; } public function setValue($value) { $this->_value = $value; } public function __toString() { return $this->_value; } public function __set($key, $value) { if(isset($this->children[$key]) == false) { $this->children[$key] = new self($value); } else { $this->children[$key]->setValue($value); } } public function __get($key) { return $this->children[$key]; } } $foo = new Foo(""); $foo->myVar = "some value"; // assigns "some value" to $foo->myValue->_value print_r($foo->myVar); // outputs that we have a Foo echo $foo->myVar; // outputs the contents of $foo->myValue->_value aka "some value" // This works and produces the string value of both "myVar" and "anotherVar", // with "anotherVar" being an instance of Foo. $foo->myVar->anotherVar = "some other value"; </code></pre> Again, thank you all for your contributions and your patience as I worked this out.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
