#33015 [Asn->Csd]: ArrayObject: object- and array-access not interchangeable

ID: 33015 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: pecoes at xs4all dot nl -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Bug Type: SPL related Operating System: * -PHP Version: 5.* +PHP Version: 5.0.* Assigned To: helly New Comment: This bug has been fixed in CVS. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Implemented through setFlags() / getFlags(). Note that you can set control flags in the constructor already. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-17 23:04:41] pecoes at xs4all dot nl Turns out the work-around is not terribly complicated: class ArrayObject2 extends ArrayObject { function __set($prop, $val) { parent::offsetSet($prop, $val); } function __get($prop) { return parent::offsetGet($prop); } } Could you turn that into the default behaviour? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-17 15:58:41] pecoes at xs4all dot nl The problem is not in the constructor, is it? __get should return array-values as well and every offsetGet should return property-values as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-17 15:54:43] pecoes at xs4all dot nl What would "exchangeArray" do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-17 15:37:43] helly@php.net Yep it's me alone. I'll do something as soon as i find ime then. How about some exchangeArray() method that drops the current array and replaces it with the given one. So the following would do what you want: class ArrayObjectEx extends ArrayObject { function __construct() { $this->exchangeArray($this); } } $obj = new ArrayObjectEx; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-17 13:42:33] pecoes at xs4all dot nl 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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
