Req #53770 [NEW]: __set Doesn't Allow Pass By Reference (Even On Objects) And Isn't Called On Ref
From:
Operating system: All
PHP version: 5.3.5
Package: Class/Object related
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:__set Doesn't Allow Pass By Reference (Even On Objects) And Isn't Called
On Ref
Description:
------------
When using __set($strProp, &$strValue), you are given the error:
Method foo::__set() cannot take arguments by reference
If, you use $obj->property =& $that it will not call __set at all, but
rather auto-create 'property';
Not a major issue, but at the least the __set not being called may need to
be fixed.
Test script:
---------------
class foo {
private $var = NULL;
function __set($strProp, $strValue) {
var_dump('here');
unset($strValue);
}
}
class bar {
var $that = 'that';
}
error_reporting(E_STRICT);
$that = 'that';
$foo = new foo();
$foo->Property =& $that;
var_dump($foo->Property);
var_dump($that);
$bar = new bar();
$foo->Property =& $bar;
var_dump($bar);
Expected result:
----------------
string(4) "here"
undefined variable: $bar
Actual result:
--------------
string(4) "that"
object(bar)#7 (1) { ["that"]=> string(4) "that" }
