#33941 [NEW]: overloading not working with arrays not stored as arrays

From: gordon at heydon dot com dot au Operating system: linux / windows PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: overloading not working with arrays not stored as arrays Description: ------------ If using the __set() and __get() to store and manipulate arrays within a property, if the array is not being stored as an array then the array assignment will not work. If in the example the property just has the value from the assignment stored without the serialization, so storing the array within the array this works. Also the funny thing is that if you put echos within the __set() and __get the $obj->prop[5] = 'apple' does not output anything at all. It is like PHP is trying to guess what the __set() is doing and then doing that, Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class ex { public function __get($prop) { return unserialize($this->fields[$prop]); } public function __set($prop, $value) { $this->fields[$prop] = serialize($value); } private $fields; } $obj = new ex; $obj->prop = array(4 => 'pear'); $obj->prop[5] = 'apple'; var_dump($obj->prop); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { [4]=> string(4) "pear" [5]=> string(5) "apple" } Actual result: -------------- array(1) { [4]=> string(4) "pear" } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33941&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33941&r=mysqlcfg
