Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52540&edit=1 ID: 52540 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: trong at ngs dot ru Summary: Error on update array's field through __set magic method -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.3.3 Block user comment: N 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 When using the array as storage the __get() method will return a copy of the array. When using ArrayObject it will return a handle to the object. So with an array you're working on a copy, with objects on the same object. For objet handles check http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.references.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-05 09:43:33] trong at ngs dot ru Description: ------------ If I use __set magic method for arrays and try to update some field of array I see the old value. But, if I use the same scheme for ArrayObject I'll get the right result. Test script: --------------- <? class t { private $data = array(); public function __get($name) { return $this->data[$name]; } public function __set($name, $value) { $this->data[$name] = $value; } } // define test array $array = array( 'view' => array('x' => 1, 'y' => 1) ); $t = new t(); $t->mas = $array; // update field of array $t->mas['view']['x'] = 1111; echo $t->mas['view']['x']; echo '<br>'; $t->mas2 = new ArrayObject($array); $t->mas2['view']['x'] = 1111; echo $t->mas2['view']['x']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 1111 <br> 1111 Actual result: -------------- 1 <br> 1111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52540&edit=1
