Bug #64431 [Opn]: SPL RecursiveArrayIterator::offsetSet with ArrayObject fails but stdClass works

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64431&edit=1 ID: 64431 User updated by: namarpi at yahoo dot com Reported by: namarpi at yahoo dot com Summary: SPL RecursiveArrayIterator::offsetSet with ArrayObject fails but stdClass works Status: Open Type: Bug Package: SPL related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.4.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hello, good news: method chaining works (leastwise two levels), so apology for the rumor. Here is the script which contains two solutions, one for RecursiveIteratorIterator, and one for RecursiveArrayIterator. It would be really nice to complete this wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_chaining :)) https://github.com/namarpi/php-reports/blob/master/methodChain.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-18 05:47:49] namarpi at yahoo dot com Hello again, I would like to offer my help with some simple test scripts, which will be collected at https://github.com/namarpi/PHP-SPL-Recursive-Examples If you need them use them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-17 06:25:25] namarpi at yahoo dot com Perhaps you have already faced with that too, that method chaining fails even with stdClass. If not than this script provides an example: https://github.com/namarpi/php-reports/blob/master/insertGrandchildByGrandparentKey.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-16 07:36:00] namarpi at yahoo dot com This test script gets rid of the RecursiveIteratorIterator, and focuses only on the RecursiveArrayIterator. https://github.com/namarpi/php-reports/blob/master/test-RecursiveArrayIterator::getChildren::offsetSet.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-15 18:30:39] namarpi at yahoo dot com Relocated the file to a GhitHub repository: https://github.com/namarpi/php-reports/blob/master/test-RecursiveArrayIterator::offsetSet.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-15 15:29:44] namarpi at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ Trying to modify an array through RecursiveIteratorIterator iterator. The successful modification depends on how the array object was constructed. Fails: $array_object = new ArrayObject( $array, 0, "RecursiveArrayIterator" ); Works: $object = json_decode( json_encode( $array )); I am confused, because I expect the same behavior on both iterators. Attached a detailed test script, which tells more than my bad English text. Maybe I am escaping something? Test script: --------------- http://madarak.net/php_reports/spl-recursion.txt Expected result: ---------------- Modified ArrayObject object after using RecursiveArrayIterator::offsetSet/offsetUnset methods. Actual result: -------------- There are no effects on ArrayObject object after calling RecursiveArrayIterator::offsetSet/offsetUnset methods. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64431&edit=1
