#38636 [NEW]: overloading __set changes the behavior of property access to call __get

From: foobar at dodgeit dot com Operating system: FreeBSD 6.1 PHP version: 5.1.5 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: overloading __set changes the behavior of property access to call __get Description: ------------ Consider the following code: $foo = new A; $foo->bar = 'bar'; echo $foo->bar; Assume A defines __get. Behavior of the last line is different depending on whether A defines __set. If __set is not defined, then the last line won't call __get. If __set is defined, __get will be called. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class A { public function __get($prop) { echo "getting\n"; } } $a = new A; $a->foo = 'foo'; echo $a->foo."\n"; ?> ------ <?php class A { public function __get($prop) { echo "getting\n"; } public function __set($prop, $val) { echo "setting\n"; } } $a = new A; $a->foo = 'foo'; echo $a->foo."\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- The first run produces: foo The second run produces: getting setting Actual result: -------------- Either 'getting' should be printed in both runs, or it should be not printed in either run. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38636&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38636&r=mysqlcfg
