The single responsibility principle

YES

The problems with violating SRP

• Complexity increases

class MapsLocation {

    public function setCoordinates( $coordinates ) {
        // parse
    }

    public function setAddress( $address, $asActualLocation = true ) {
        // geocode
    }

    public function __construct( $coordsOrAddress = null, $format = Maps_COORDS_FLOAT, $directional = false, $separator = ',' ) {
        // ...
    }

    // ...

}

• Harder to understand
• More bugs
