Maybe I'm using "reentrant" incorrectly, but here is what I mean... class Test { function __get($nm) {
      if ($nm == 'x')
         return $this->func();
      elseif ($nm == 'y')
         return 'y';
      elseif ($nm == 'xx')
         return 'x';
} function func() {
      return $this->xx;
} } $t = new Test(); print $t->y . "\n"; print $t->xx . "\n"; print $t->x . "\n"; print $t->func() . "\n"; I would expect the following code to output: y x x x But instead, it outputs: y x x Is this a bug? This limitation is not documented (maybe it should be?).
its not a bug, I believe its documented somewhere how this works. bottom line __get() does not work from 'inside' the class/object, so do something like instead:
     function func()   {
       return $this->__get('xx');
     }
which may not please the soul, but does work ;-)
