 New Comment:

arrayaccess interface has a different behavior and allows to pass
instances as keys

anyway there's another issue about "classic" arrays

$myarray[new MyClass()] = "foo";

when used in this context, the instance should call __toString to return
the key as string... or toScalar in the next php releases

Description:
------------
hi

class MyArray
{
   public function __set($i,$v){var_dump($i);}
   public function __get($i){var_dump($i);}
}

$obj = new MyArray();
$obj->{222} = "foo";
echo $obj->{222};

i think the index of the __set __get magic methods should be as user
passed
with the characteristics of a "php's valid array key"








but in plus...
would be nice if the key accepts all types too

$hashtable->{new User(2222)} = new SomeUserData(2222);

here User is casted to "string" and it is good for hash tables, but
inside the __set method is impossible to access the original "new User"
instance
