note 50119 added to language.oop5.overloading

You can't mix offsetSet() of the ArrayAccess interface (http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/interfaceArrayAccess.html) and __get() in the same line. Below, "FileManagerPrefs" is an object of class UserData which implements ArrayAccess. There's a protected array of UserData objects in the User class, which are returned from __get(). <?php // This produces an error... Application::getInstance()->user->FileManagerPrefs[ 'base'] = 'uploads/jack'; ?> Creates this error: Fatal error: Cannot access undefined property for object with overloaded property access in __FILE__ on line __LINE__ However, __get() and offsetGet() play deceptively well together. <?php // This works fine! echo Application::getInstance()->user->FileManager['base']; ?> I guess it's a dereferencing issue with __get(). In my case, it makes more sense to have a middle step (user->data['FileManager']['base']), but I wanted to tip off the community before I move on. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50119 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50119&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50119&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50119&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50119&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50119&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50119&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
