ID: 28872 User updated by: nick dot rich at textmarketer dot co dot uk Reported By: nick dot rich at textmarketer dot co dot uk Status: Open Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.0.0RC3 New Comment: The point is that the __get ihis being passed an object ref instead of the value. If you change the test class to: Class TestClass { private static $data = array("dog"=>"dog","cat"=>"cat"); function __get($value) { return self::$data[$value]; } } It will give the same result Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-21 20:59:34] helly@php.net first of all __get() is supposed to return something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-21 19:35:32] nick dot rich at textmarketer dot co dot uk Description: ------------ Trying to access a propery (via the get method) using a value from another object as the method name fails. See code:: if the line /// fails is replaced with $localVar = $config->methodnames[1]; $test->$localVar It works correctly Reproduce code: --------------- class config { public $methodnames = array("dog","cat"); } class testClass { function Cat(){ echo "cat"; } function Dog(){ echo "dog"; } function __get($method){ eval("\$this->\$method();"); } } class main { function __construct(){ $config = new config(); $test = new testClass(); $test->$config->methodnames[1]; /// fails } } $test = new main(); Expected result: ---------------- cat Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined method testClass:: Object() in /Users/nicholasrich/Sites/bits/ testclass.php(18) : eval()'d code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28872&edit=1
