Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80042&edit=1 ID: 80042 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: antonfedonyuk at gmail dot com -Summary: ArrayObject not implement magic methods, but use they +Summary: ArrayObject should implement magic methods -Status: Not a bug +Status: Suspended Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Class/Object related Operating System: Any -PHP Version: 7.4.9 +PHP Version: Next Minor Version -Assigned To: cmb +Assigned To: Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Okay, it may be an option to change the implementation in the next minor or major release. However, that requires discussion which is beyond the scope of this bug tracker (there are several other internal classes which behave similar). Therefore, please write mail to the internals mailing list[1]. For the time being, I'm suspending this ticket.

If you want to check whether a certain property is set, use isset(); <https://3v4l.org/6emoD> looks fined to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-08-31 19:20:22] antonfedonyuk at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Example show: $ao don't have public properties, object not implements method __get, but "magic" still work. Test script: --------------- <?php $ao = new ArrayObject(['foo' => 'bar'], ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS); var_dump(get_object_vars($ao)); // [] var_dump(method_exists($ao, '__get')); // false var_dump($ao->foo); // "bar" ?> Expected result: ---------------- Test object $ao must have public property "foo" or implements magic methods(__get, __set", __isset, __unset) to overloading that property. Actual result: -------------- get_object_vars($ao); // [] method_exists($ao, '__get'); // false $ao->foo; // "bar" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80042&edit=1
