Re: property de-referencing

That looks more pointless than evil to me - and no, I'm not suggesting anything of that sort. I'm proposing we need a way to statically reference an object property - the object property itself, not it's value: var_dump($user->name); // => 'Rasmus' var_dump(^$user->name); // => PropertyReference(class: 'User', propertyName: 'name', object:User(...)) $foo = ^$user->name; var_dump($foo->getValue()); // => 'Rasmus' $foo->setValue('Bob'); var_dump($user->name); // => 'Bob' Is that easier to understand? - Rasmus Schultz On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 1:01 PM, Ferenc Kovacs <tyra3l@gmail.com> wrote: > > 2013.04.30. 14:00, "Rasmus Schultz" <rasmus@mindplay.dk> ezt írta: > > > > > > > > > Do you mean something yucky like > > > http://pecl.php.net/propro? > > > > > > > > I don't know what that is, and there is no description on that page. > > you can grasp the concept from the testcase: > > > http://git.php.net/?p=pecl/php/propro.git;a=blob_plain;f=tests/001.phpt;hb=HEAD > >
