Bug #78372 [NEW]: Calling __set magic method on ReflectionProperty::setValue()

From: i dot spyric at gmail dot com Operating system: Debian PHP version: 7.4.0beta1 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Calling __set magic method on ReflectionProperty::setValue() Description: ------------ When you use setting value via reflection on uninitialized property __set magic method will be called. If you remove type of property or set default value, __set method will not be called. Is it a bug? Because in RFC I have not seen anything about this behavior Test script: --------------- class Example { private string $test; public function __set($name, $value) { echo "$name=$value"; } } $t = new Example(); $property = new ReflectionProperty($t, 'test'); $property->setAccessible(true); $property->setValue($t, 'foo'); Expected result: ---------------- No __set is called Actual result: -------------- __set is called -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78372&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=78372&r=mysqlcfg
