#46599 [NEW]: __call and __set priority

From: benjiro at benjiro dot com Operating system: Linux Debian Lenny PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: __call and __set priority Description: ------------ Unless my definition off the magic methods __call, and __set are wrong, there seems to be a conflict between both. When both __set & __call are defined, the __set method overrides __call, even when the object in question is a clearly defined method. Line1: $object->xxx( 'yyy', 'ooo' ); // At this point, __set will dominate any call, while its clearly a method. Line2: $object->xxx = zzz; One expects that a method call can be recognized with (), yet, __set has a higher priority, and thinks you are calling $object->xxx on line 1, breaking the correct resolving to find out that its really a methode. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $object = new test(); // Create john with lastname, smith, and say hello. Note: we are not doing anything with smith in this example. $object->john( 'smith' )->hello(); // Lets set a changed value to the changed list of object. $object->john = xxx; class test { private $changed = array(); function __call ( $name, $args ) { $this->{$name} = new child(); return $this->{$name}; } function __get ( $name ) { if ( isset( $this->{$name} ) ) return $this->{$name}; } function __set ( $name, $value ) { echo 'Lets register a possible changed value'; if ( isset( $this->{$name} ) ) $this->changed[$name] = $value; } } class child { function hello () { echo 'Hello, im tests son, called john'; } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Expected: Hello, im tests son, called john Lets register a possible changed value Actual result: -------------- Actual result is: Lets register a possible changed value Fatal error: Call to a member function hello() on a non-object in /xxx/index5.php on line 5 Line 5 is in reality the method... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46599&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46599&r=mysqlcfg
