Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53388&edit=1 ID: 53388 User updated by: luka8088 at owave dot net Reported by: luka8088 at owave dot net Summary: problems extending DOMAttr (cannot overload DOMAttr value) Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related PHP Version: 5.3.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: On [2013-12-03 07:51 UTC] mike@php.net wrote: >Unfortunately, this is not supported.

Just because some implementation is not behaving according to php rules does not mean that it is not a bug. If it is not a bug, then can you please confirm that current behavior is correct and that it should never change? Or by marking it as "not a bug" you actually mean "we don't want to fix this" or "it is too complicated to fix at the moment"?

DOMAttr completely ignores $value in custom class, setting it to private and using magic methods also does not work as expected <?php class Custom_DOMAttr extends DOMAttr { public $value = 'my_value'; } $attr = new Custom_DOMAttr("name"); $attr->value = "other_value"; var_dump($attr); // object(Custom_DOMAttr)#1 (1) { ["value"]=> string(8) "my_value" } var_dump($attr->value); // string(11) "other_value" ?> Test script: --------------- <?php class Custom_DOMAttr extends DOMAttr { public $value = 'my_value'; } $attr = new Custom_DOMAttr("name"); $attr->value = "other_value"; var_dump($attr); var_dump($attr->value); ?> Expected result: ---------------- object(Custom_DOMAttr)#1 (1) { ["value"]=> string(8) "my_value" } string(11) "my_value" Actual result: -------------- object(Custom_DOMAttr)#1 (1) { ["value"]=> string(8) "my_value" } string(11) "other_value" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53388&edit=1
