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: I would like to insert new nodes into the array with iterator, but the solutions in the previously linked test script were not consistent. So, found a better way to insert and modify new nodes dynamically, and append them to the iterator on the fly. This works so smooth and nice that it must be a good solution in the case of stdClass. https://github.com/NaMarPi/php-reports/blob/master/insertNewNode.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-22 07:54:47] namarpi at yahoo dot com I think it might be interesting: Manual says: public void ArrayIterator::offsetSet ( string $index , string $newval ) but thank to Developer it works with offsetSet ( string $index , array/stdClass $newnode ) too. https://github.com/namarpi/php-reports/blob/master/offsetSet-string-and-array.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-20 19:17:59] namarpi at yahoo dot com 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
