A workaround is possible using __call( $name, $args) { return( $this->__get( $name)); }. But it sucks, since constructs using array indices are impossible as $obj->not_existing_attr()[0] regards Daniel Schierbeck wrote:

Do you guys have any idea why this code:

    <?php

    class Foo
    {
        private $elem = array();
            public function __get ($prop)
        {
            if (isset($this->elem[$prop])) {
                return $this->elem[$prop];
            } else {
                trigger_error("Property '$prop' not defined", E_USER_ERROR);
            }
        }
            public function __set ($prop, $val)
        {
            $this->elem[$prop] = $val;
        }
    }

    $obj         = new Foo;
    $obj->a     = new Foo;
    $obj->a->b     = "Foobar";

    ?>

returns this:

    Fatal error: Cannot access undefined property for object with overloaded property access in ... on line 24

Where line 24 is:

    $obj->a->b     = "Foobar";
