#40721 [Opn->WFx]: Overload Comparison Problem

ID: 40721 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: rod at pu-gh dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.4.6 New Comment: You'll have to upgrade to PHP5. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-05 03:00:52] rod at pu-gh dot com Description: ------------ When overloading a class in php, and then comparing an overloaded property to the return value of a function call, the result is not what I expected. If comparing against string literals, or if the result of each is first assigned to a variable then it's fine. I tested this with latest CVS of PHP 4.4.7. Reproduce code: --------------- <? class Foo { function __get( $name, &$value ) { $value = 'foo'; return true; } } overload( 'Foo' ); class Bar { function foo() { return 'bar'; } } $foo = new Foo(); $bar = new Bar(); echo 'Test: ' . ( $foo->bar == $bar->foo() ? 'BAD' : 'GOOD' ) . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Expected (meaning the comparsion failed): Test: GOOD Actual result: -------------- Actual (meaning the comparsion 'foo' == 'bar' succeeded): Test: BAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40721&edit=1
