Bug #78372 [Opn->Nab]: Calling __set magic method on ReflectionProperty::setValue()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78372&edit=1 ID: 78372 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: i dot spyric at gmail dot com Summary: Calling __set magic method on ReflectionProperty::setValue() -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Debian PHP Version: 7.4.0beta1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The RFC states that __get will be invoked upon reading an uninitialized typed property. Logically, __set should be invoked when writing an uninitialized typed property. This behavior matches how an unset() untyped property works, even when using reflection. https://3v4l.org/Gs1XL Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-05 07:10:32] i dot spyric at gmail dot com 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78372&edit=1
