#33015 [Fbk->Opn]: ArrayObject: object- and array-access not interchangeable

ID: 33015 User updated by: pecoes at xs4all dot nl Reported By: pecoes at xs4all dot nl -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: SPL related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.* Assigned To: helly New Comment: Thanks for the offer, but I'm not in need of a work-around. IMHO it would be great to have a "simple" solution - "simple" from a user's perspective :) You've created some pretty fascinating stuff with the SPL and from the looks of it, you're doing this all alone right now, so I really don't want to rush you... Just tell me how big the chances are in the long run! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-12 23:15:00] helly@php.net I could equip you with a special factory method or a derived class that does this. But the way it works it is not possible to achieve what you want with ArrayObject and its current constructor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-12 12:32:44] pecoes at xs4all dot nl Description: ------------ It's pretty counter-intuitive, that you can neither access an ArrayObject's properties with the array-syntax, nor its array-values with the object-syntax. I think these two should be interchangeable. Preferably like in ECMAScript... Reproduce code: --------------- $a = new ArrayObject(); $a->one = 1; $a['two'] = 2; echo "\$a->one: $a->one \$a->two: $a->two \n"; echo "\$a[one]: $a[one] \$a[two]: $a[two] \n"; Expected result: ---------------- $a->one: 1 $a->two: 2 $a[one]: 1 $a[two]: 2 Actual result: -------------- $a->one: 1 $a->two: $a[one]: $a[two]: 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33015&edit=1
