Bug #66249 [NEW]: empty() returns true, when it shouldn't on an object

From: kenyon dot jh at gmail dot com Operating system: Debian PHP version: 5.4.22 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:empty() returns true, when it shouldn't on an object Description: ------------ My PHP version wasn't an option, so it is actually "PHP Version 5.4.4-14+deb7u5" and my system is Linux toshiba 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 Basically, when referencing an variable through a class (I only tested with __set and __get) it empty() returns true, even when it should return false. Since it is kind of hard to explain, I posted a script below that demonstrates what I am talking about. Test script: --------------- <?php class testing { protected $_response = array(); public function __set($key, $value) { $this->_response[$key] = $value; } public function __get($key) { return $this->_response[$key]; } } $testing = new testing(); $testing->foo = 'bar'; var_dump($testing->foo); //Returns 'string(3) "bar" var_dump(empty($testing->foo)); //Returns bool(true) ?> Expected result: ---------------- Line 17 should return bool(false) Actual result: -------------- Line 17 actually returns bool(true) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66249&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66249&r=mysqlcfg
