Please cook a script (okay, let it be BIG script), put it somewhere on the Net (no SVN and other exotic things please, just a plain HTTP) and give us the link. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-15 16:11:59] gregory dot szorc at case dot edu I have tried to recreate the problem by recreating the basic class hierarchy that exists in my project. Unfortunately, I have been unable to duplicate. I would gladly try and debug things myself, but I have no knowledge regarding debugging core PHP. The problem occurs in BaseLayout.php. It is reproducable through tests/iCal_create.php. The test program doesn't even involve a lot of the classes. Considering that the problem is an object reference being lost/ignored as it is passed back to a function, I would think this would be a relatively easy problem to debug. Who knows. If someone could provide instructions for how to debug this problem, I would attempt to do it myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-15 15:30:03] sniper@php.net We _REALLY_ need a short reproducing script. We don't have time to go through hundreds of lines of code.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-14 16:58:33] gregory dot szorc at case dot edu As mentioned in the orignal post, I have not been able to reproduce the problem outside of the project from which I am working. Believe me, I tried. Read http://zorro.case.edu/ viewcvs/php_classes/File_iCal/trunk/File/iCal/ BaseComponent.php?rev=119&view=markup around line 234 for a comment and the actual code that causes the bug to trigger. Given the way that the problem can be "solved," there is obviously a bug with the class support. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it outside of the PEAR project on which I am working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
