Another work around for this is:
a->b->__set('c', 'value');
At least the underlying calsses do not need to be changed to make this
work.

To [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Please don't feel hurt by this comment. I think you
guys did a great job on making PHP5 what it is, but this bug is
different. I think (but I mon sure, since I don't get anything in the
PHP engine code) this should fix very well.

There are plenty of other non fixed bugs. If we were to release when
the bug count reaches zero we would never release.

In my opinion, such "workarounds" should be replaced by fixing the
issue in PHP itself. Indeed, it is funny that this works for getting
properties, and doesn't for setting. Onother question: how did PHP5
make for a release with this core level bug?

another "workaround", it allows to use this feature now and
to convert scripts later when this feature is available in php.
class a {
function __call ($property, $args){
return __get($property);
}
use it like this:
$a->b->c=10; as $a->b()->c=10;
echo $a->b->c; as echo $a->b()->c;

it allows to read value referenced by $a->b->c
but it does not allow to modify it, that's makes the whole thing
inconsistent...
workaround like below does the job, but it is ugly!
$b=$a->b;
$b->c=5;
i think if ->-> is called it should call __get methods at
all each stage and pass reference to the next -> operation
