note 79802 added to language.oop5.overloading

Careful not to crash PHP with this feature (tested on Windows/php 5.1.4 only): <?php class test_class { public function __set($var,$value){ $this->{$var} = $value; } } $t = new test_class(); $f = null; // crash and burn: $t->{$f} = "some value"; ?> Albeit I don´t know why, if $f is null or is undefined, PHP will not issue any error message. It will simply crash. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 189.7.116.70 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79802 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79802/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79802/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79802/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79802/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79802/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79802/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79802 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79802 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
