Note Submitter: daveb at spamless dot davebeta dot com Reason: 0 ---- In reply to uramihsayibok, gmail, com: The PHP behaviour is the behaviour I would expect. You are assigning a value to a property: $obj->a=$b works just the same as $a=$b and I would expect both these expressions to evaluate to $b. The __set() method is used behind the scenes. As a programmer using the class I might not be aware __set() is used unless I originally wrote the class. The return value of __set() is quite rightly ignored.
