The use of getters/setters messes with data entegrity

[harmonwood]

Why doing anything in my getters or setters the encrypted version is also passed through those functions destroying the integrity of the data.

Is there a way to change things so that the encryption uses the direct properties? Via reflection perhaps?!

At least please add documentation code like below for other users with the need to format or unformat data and use encryption at the same time.

`
public function setNumber($number)
{
// Don't jack with the encrypted data only the non-encrypted data.
if ( substr( (string) $number, -6 ) == "=” ) {
$this->number = $number;
} else {
// strip formating for phone number or social security numbers
$this->number = preg_replace( '/\D/', '', (string) $number );
}

return $this;

}
