note 97163 added to class.arrayaccess

Objects implementing ArrayAccess may return objects by references in PHP 5.3.0. You can implement your ArrayAccess object like this: class Reflectable implements ArrayAccess { public function set($name, $value) { $this->{$name} = $value; } public function &get($name) { return $this->{$name}; } public function offsetGet($offset) { return $this->get($offset); } public function offsetSet($offset, $value) { $this->set($offset, $value); } ... } This base class allows you to get / set your object properties using the [] operator just like in Javascript: class Boo extends Reflectable { public $name; } $obj = new Boo(); $obj['name'] = "boo"; echo $obj['name']; // prints boo ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 67.193.125.129 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.arrayaccess.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97163 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97163/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97163/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97163/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97163/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97163/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97163/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97163 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97163 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
