This is a fundamental attribute of the language, allowing you to
dynamically create variables associated with the class. The same
is true for Python. But you can quite easily enforce "strictness".
You might be able to use the same technique for php?

class Strict:
     def __setattr__(self, name, value):
         if hasattr(self.__class__,name):
             self.__dict__[name]=value
         else:
             names = [x for x in self.__class__.__dict__.keys()
                      if not x.startswith('__')]
             names.sort()
             message = ("Class %s is strict: only attributes %s can be 
set" %
                 (self.__class__.__name__, names))
             raise AttributeError,message

class Mine(Strict):
      a=1

mine=Mine()
mine.a=2
mine.b="error"

Process managment

ps -A  #show all processes
ps -Af #show all processes with full command line
ps -Al #show all processes with extra info
ps -A --forest  #show all processes and associated hierarchy

You can search the process list using grep, and send
signals using the command `kill -num pid`. The default
num is 15 (SIGTERM). `kill -l` will give a list.
Note kill -9 should never be used in normal operation.
