This bug is still open;

$ php --version
PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Mar 11 2013 14:31:48)


Complete test case follows.

test database:
-------------------------

CREATE DATABASE test DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
USE test;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test (
  id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  value varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES
(1, 'Some'),
(2, 'test'),
(3, 'entries'),
(4, 'in'),
(5, 'this'),
(6, 'database.');
-------------------------

example code:
-------------------------
$db = new PDO( 'mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=test;', 'root',
'PASSWORD', array( PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8' ) );

class IdObject
{
	private $id;
	private $value;

	public function setId( $id )
	{
		$this->id = (int) $id;
	}

	public function setValue( $value )
	{
		$this->value = $value . ' (via setter)';
	}
}

$stmt = $db->prepare( 'SELECT id, value FROM
test;' );
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->setFetchMode( PDO::FETCH_CLASS|PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, 'IdObject' );
$objects = array();
while( $row = $stmt->fetch() )
{
	$objects[] = $row;
}
var_dump( $objects );
-------------------------

example output:
-------------------------
object(IdObject)#3 (2) {
	["id":"IdObject":private]=>
	string(1) "1"
	["value":"IdObject":private]=>
	string(4) "Some"
}
-------------------------

As you can see, the private members were set without using the setter as expected. Even if you set
up a magic method __set() it won't get used.

The same is true when using private constructors (objects are still initialized) or protected
members or constructors.

This bug still exists in PHP 5.3 - what extra information is required for this to 
be fixed?

Why is this here? You should discuss stuff on the mailing lists, nobody 
seems to read the bug reports (who actually know the stuff..).

Description:
------------
Please clearify if any of the following is a bug or a feature.

1) PDO::FETCH_CLASS and private constructor

PDO ignores the visibility "private" of a constructor and creates objects of the requested
type when using PDO::FETCH_CLASS and PDOStatement->fetch().

Create a class with a private constructor and try to create an object of the class from somewhere
outside of the class. PHP will print a fatal error as expected.

class private_constructor {
  private function __construct()
}
$obj = new private_constructor() --> Fatal error (OK)

Use PDOStatement->setFetchMode() to make PDO return objects of the type
"private_constructor" when fetching results. setFetchMode() will return true and
PDOStatement->fetch() will return objects of the type "private_constructor". In other
words: PDO will ignore the visibility of the constructor and behave as if PDO would be a part of the
class "private_constructor"

2) PDO::FETCH_CLASS and private properties

Something similar happens if you make PDO instantiate a class with private properties which have the
same name as column in the result set. PDO does not bother about private and fills the appropriate
properties with values from the result set.



Reproduce code:
---------------
---------------- 1 - private constructor -------------


php -r '$db = new PDO("sqlite:/tmp/foo"); $db->exec("DROP TABLE test");
$db->exec("CREATE TABLE test (id INT)"); $db->exec("INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES
(1)"); $stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT id FROM test"); class private_constructor {
public static $calls = 0; private function __construct() { printf("private_constructor:
%d\n", self::$calls++); }} $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS,
'private_constructor'); $stmt->execute(); var_dump($stmt->fetch());'
private_constructor: 0
object(private_constructor)#3 (1) {
  ["id"]=>
  string(1) "1"
}

--------------------- 2 - private properties -------------------


php -r '$db = new PDO("sqlite:/tmp/foo"); $db->exec("DROP TABLE test");
$db->exec("CREATE TABLE test (id INT)"); $db->exec("INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES
(1)"); $stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT id FROM test"); class private_properties {
public static $calls = 0; private $id; public function __construct() {
printf("private_properties: %d\n", self::$calls++); }}
var_dump($stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'private_properties'));
$stmt->execute(); var_dump($stmt->fetch());'
bool(true)
private_properties: 0
object(private_properties)#3 (1) {
  ["id":"private_properties":private]=>
  string(1) "1"
}
