ID: 41742 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: gatorv at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows Vista PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You need to implement __isset() to catch this. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-19 20:51:56] gatorv at gmail dot com Description: ------------ If you use a language construct ej: empty on a object and want to call a magic function ej: __get, the function is not called and the function fails. Reproduce code: --------------- class Test { public $input; public function __construct() { $this->input = array( "foo" => "bar" ); } public function __get( $var ) { return $this->input[$var]; } } $test = new Test(); if( empty( $test->foo ) ) { echo "Foo on Test is empty"; } else { echo "Foo on Test is not empty"; } Expected result: ---------------- Foo on Test is not empty. Actual result: -------------- Foo on Test is empty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41742&edit=1
