PropertyAccessor::setValue()

Sets the value at the end of the property path of the object graph.

Example:

use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess;

$propertyAccessor = PropertyAccess::createPropertyAccessor();

echo $propertyAccessor->setValue($object, 'child.name', 'Fabien');
// equals echo $object->getChild()->setName('Fabien');

This method first tries to find a public setter for each property in the path. The name of the setter must be the camel-cased property name prefixed with "set".

If the setter does not exist, this method tries to find a public property. The value of the property is then changed.

If neither is found, an exception is thrown.
