Bug #1304: Assignment to members of object in an array of objects

From: maarnold@gte.net Operating system: linux PHP version: 3.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Parser error Bug description: Assignment to members of object in an array of objects I've tried a work around to bug #1182, but I am getting flaky results. The situation is... /* * Code snippet #1 */ class DbFldC { var Name; var Label; } class DbTblC { var Fields; } $DbFld = new DbFldC; $DbFld->Name = "id"; $DbTbl = new DbTblC; $DbTbl->Fields[] = $DbFld; Bug 1182 says that... $DbTbl->Fields[ 0 ]->Label = "Sequence No"; ...yields a parser error, which is true; My work around is... /* * Code snippet #2 */ $TmpFld = $DbTbl->Fields[ 0 ]; $TmpFld->Label = "Sequence No."; Unfortunately, this doesn't always work. Sometimes the assignment "sticks" and sometimes it doesn't. Does $TmpFld reference the original object to which it was assigned, or does the assignment make a copy of the original object (to which $TmpFld not points)? Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. Let's say the Code snippet #1 and #2 have been executed. Then the following code is executed... printf( "Name is %s. Label is %s.<BR>\n", $TmpFld->Name, $TmpFld->Label ); $TmpFld2 = $DbTbl->Fields[ 0 ]; printf( "Name is %s. Label is %s.<BR>\n", $TmpFld2->Name, $TmpFld2->Label ); ...This yields the following output... Name is id. Label is Sequence No. Name is id.
