Just keep setting Id until you get it where you want it to be. Being PHP, I recommend avoiding a loop and just hardcode it, preferably over and over across many lines with random indention.

indentation, are you crazy?! that will make the algorithm at least O(n^6)!

I was fortunate enough to recently have been allowed to work on a PHP project. I am very experienced with C#. Yet I'm still struggling to make sense of this code snippet. Is this valid PHP? Does it run inside .net? What is public private? (Is it only making the setter private?)
And fun fact, it seems like there is a dotnet class in PHP in order to interact with .net classes: https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.dotnet.php

It is actually valid PHP! 8.4 to be exact, this is the version that introduced "Property hooks" (https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.property-hooks.php)

I was really wondering what the fuck public private was myself.

PHP really is an underdog story. From an unreadable, buggy mess of a language to maybe the most pleasant progressively-typed scripting language around

PHP is legitimately pretty great. it’s been my goto language for quick scripts and command line stuff for years. Like any language it can look good or bad. Helped that I came from Perl though

In the PHP project I worked on I did inteoduce PHPStan (static code analysis tool) with an integration into the IDE and brought it up to level 8 (out of 10, the higher the level the stricter the checks). I still prefer other languages, and there were still a few quirks, but it was fine working with it like that, since it ensured that type hints where present basically everywhere and also that variables where used according to the types.

public private?
I don't want to know. I don't care, anymore. I won't care about anything ever again. The culmination of millions of years of refinement since Australopithecus afarensis roamed the Pliocene savannahs is a world with websites running on PHP.

I have never touched php in my life (thankfully). Why do class variables have to be prefixed with a dollar sign? Seems really redundant

Heritage from languages like Perl and Bash.

Because variables in general start with a dollar sign. Its how you differentiate between variable, constant and function use

Correction: all variables are prefixed with $, that how the language define variable

That convention goes back at least as far as the Bourne shell; maybe even to the Thompson shell.

It was supposed to be a surprise that PHP 9 ships with the .NET CLR!
