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 mysqli link properties are designed to be read-only. the write func for them throw that error: static int mysqli_write_na(mysqli_object *obj, zval *newval TSRMLS_DC) { php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_ERROR, "Cannot write property"); return FAILURE; } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-24 15:23:48] reeze@php.net affected_rows property is kinda readonly property, so we can't change that with reflection apis or property value update. it makes the property reliable, I don't see a reason to change that, I you really need to do that inherit it with a subclass. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-23 20:07:34] HMWiesinger at gmx dot at Description: ------------ It doesn't seem to be possible to get write access to properties of mysqli classes using the Reflection API. Test script: --------------- $mysqli = new MySQLi(); $reflection = new ReflectionClass('\MySQLi'); $property = $reflection->getProperty('affected_rows'); $property->setAccessible(TRUE); $property->setValue($mysqli, 10); Expected result: ---------------- No Error Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: ReflectionProperty::setValue(): Cannot write property ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63591&edit=1
