When We used virtual variables which should be catch by __get magic method, We encountered errors. <?php class TheObj { public $RealVar1, $RealVar2, $RealVar3, $RealVar4; public $Var = array(); function __set($var, $val) { $this->Var[$var] = $val; } function __get($var) { if(isset($this->Var[$var])) return $this->Var[$var]; else return -1; } } $SomeObj = new TheObj; // this will fine $SomeObj->RealVar1 = 'somevalue'; $SomeObj->{'RealVar2'} = 'othervalue'; $SomeObj->{'RealVar'.(3)} = 'othervaluetoo'; $SomeObj->{'RealVar'.'4'} = 'anothervalue'; // this will fine too $SomeObj->Virtual1 = 'somevalue'; $SomeObj->{'Virtual2'} = 'othervalue'; // it's can't be used since this will encounter error $SomeObj->{'Virtual'.(3)} = 'othervaluetoo'; $SomeObj->{'Virtual'.'4'} = 'anothervalue'; // but you should use it instead $SomeObj->Var['Virtual'.(3)] = 'othervaluetoo'; $SomeObj->Var['Virtual'.'4'] = 'anothervalue'; var_dump($SomeObj); ?> Ok, maybe it could help you for saving debugging time. Btw, it looks like a bug to us... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54264 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54264&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54264&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54264&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54264&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54264&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54264&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54264&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
