Summary: Method Closure::bind() can access private property
of object
Status: Open
Type: Bug
Package: Class/Object related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.4.17
Block user comment: N
Private report: N
New Comment:
You tell me about scope, i'm understand what you mean. But in my example i can
change private property not in scrope. This is not about reading property, this
is about setting private without setter.
See examples. $bar not copy, bar link to private.
$foo = new Foo();
$bar = & $reader($foo, 'bar');
$bar = 'tab';
This is not in class scope, this is just reference (link) to private property,
but i can change it. I think this is wrong!
And in this case too:
$bar = & $foo->getBar();
$bar = "tab";
I think changing private property by reference in any case, with bind() or not,
wrong. This is violation of encapsulation.

Variable scope. With bind() you were creating a closure that executes in the
scope
of that class. That's what the third argument was about. It means the function
can
do anything that a normal member function could have done, like call private
methods and access private variables.
As with reflection, with great power comes great responsibility. If you want to
get the error then omit the third argument so the function remains in the scope
you were executing in (ie, the global scope).

For PHP, yes, solved. But not for logic. I believe that to change the link to
private property is very wrong. Should generate an error.

>$bar = $foo->getBar();
Simply making the function return by reference is not enough: you have to
assign
by reference too. Otherwise the function returns a reference, yes, but your
assignment makes a copy. You need both of the &s.
http://php.net/language.references.return
The first note on the page says exactly that.
Your version with Closure::bind() had both. That's why it worked.
Resolved?

If i'm add & there
$bar = & $foo->getBar();
$bar = "tab";
echo $foo->getBar();
I really can change Private $foo to "tab". I'm so confused...
I'm expected
Fatal error: Cannot access private property
But by reference there is no error.
Maybe this is PHP "feature" and there is no bug.

But if i'm add this function to class Foo by code it in class, i can't access
private property! And this is right. You say, that my Getter function used in
Closure::bind() can change (like Setter) private property and this is right?
I don't think so.
Example:
class Foo
{
private $bar = 'baz';
public function &getBar()
{
return $this->bar;
}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$bar = $foo->getBar();
$bar = "tab";
echo $foo->getBar();
It's still "bar". And i don't know how i can change Private property of class
by
reference in this case. It will be wrong, if i can.
And now i'm take my getter
public function &getBar()
{
return $this->bar;
}
Put it in Closure::bind() and i can change Private property. This is really
wrong.
If i can change it only in function, that binded to Closure::bind(), like
$value = & Closure::bind(function & () use ($property) {
$this->property = "tab";
return $this->$property;
}, $object, $object)->__invoke();
It's okay, becouse it statically inside Foo.
But Client code can change Private property by reference! Is that right?
