$Obj->set()

// $Obj->set($field,$value);
$person->set('nick','Chester');
$content->set('headline','Hello World!');
$group->set('groupname','Fish Lovers');
$comment->set('comment','Shut up!');
$file->set('file_name','img');

Set the value of $field to $value.

You may set values for native fields - those that exist in the pre-defined list of fields present in the database schema - or for meta fields which can be created at any time.

// set a real field
$doc->set('headline','This is a test');

// set a meta field
$doc->set('clown_nose','red');

You may specify that a value is NOT saved to the database by passing in an optional third parameter. Otherwise, values will be saved to the database upon calling the save() function.

// set a temporary field on a $person object

if ($person->get('id') == $POD->currentUser()->get('id')) {
  $person->set('isCurrentUser','1',false);
}

As of version 0.7, you no longer have to use the set method for basic content changes. You may now reference the field as if it was a native object attribute:

// set real fields
$content->headline = 'this is my headline';
$person->nick = 'chester';
$group->description = 'a group for cool kids';

// set meta fields
$content->endDate = '2012-12-31';
$person->aboutme = 'this is my bio';
