    }

    function getPoint()
    {
        return array("x" => $this->x,
                     "y" => $this->y,
                     "label" => $this->label);
    }

// "$label" is declared but not defined
$p1 = new Point2D(1.233, 3.445);
print_r(get_object_vars($p1));

$p1->setLabel("point #1");
print_r(get_object_vars($p1));
