#35252 [NEW]: __get not called if parameter exists

From: php at seven dot net dot nz Operating system: Win XP PHP version: 5CVS-2005-11-17 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: __get not called if parameter exists Description: ------------ When overloading a class, the __get magic function is not called if the parameter in question has been set on the object. I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems to defeat the purpose of it somewhat. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Cat { public function __get ($variable) { if (method_exists ($this, "get_$variable")) return $this->{"get_$variable"} (); elseif (isset ($this->$variable)) return $this->$variable; else throw new Exception ("$variable not found"); } public function get_noise () { return "Meow!"; } } $test = new Cat; print $test->noise."\n"; $test->noise = "Woof!"; print $test->noise."\n"; print $test->get_noise ()."\n"; print $test->__get ("noise")."\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Actual result: -------------- Meow! Woof! Meow!
