From: Bertrand dot Willm at laposte dot net Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.0.0b1 (beta1) PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Dereferencing objects and Property accesses with __get() and __set() Description: ------------ I try to use the following notation: $object->property1->property2 = 'value'; when property1 and property2 are properties we access trow __get and __set methods. calling __get with property1 return an object that defined __get and __set methods. but there is a warning explaining the object doesn't support property references. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class CBaseClass { private $text = 'default'; function __Get() { return $this->text; } function __Set($name, $value) { $this->text = $value; } } class CExtClass { private $baseObject; function __construct() { $this->baseObject = new CBaseClass(); } function __Get() { return $this->baseObject; } } $extObject = new CExtClass(); echo $extObject->extProperty->baseProperty, '<br>'; $extObject->extProperty->baseProperty = 'new'; echo $extObject->extProperty->baseProperty, '<br>'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- default new Actual result: -------------- default Warning: This object doesn't support property references in c:\sitesweb\www\test.php5 on line 22 default -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24807&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24807&r=gnused
