From: public at grik dot net Operating system: * PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: SPL related Bug description: unrelated error when using reference
Description: ------------ Slightly modifying a Harry Fuecks's sample from sitepoint.com on implemening the ArrayAccess interface, I get some unrelated error. Maybe it's a documentation bug again... Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Article implements ArrayAccess { public $title; function __construct($title) { $this->title = $title; } function offsetSet($key, $value){ $this->{$key} = &$value; } function offsetGet($key){ return $this->{$key}; } function offsetUnset($key){ unset($this->{$key}); } function offsetExists($offset) { return array_key_exists($offset,get_object_vars($this)); } } // Create the object $A = new Article('SPL Rocks'); // Change the title using array syntax using reference $str = 'SPL _really_ rocks'; $A['title'] =&$str; // Check what it looks like again print_r($A); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Article Object ( [title] => SPL _really_ rocks ) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Objects used as arrays in post/pre increment/decrement must return values by reference in test.php on line 27 There was no increment/decrement operations used. It would be _much_ better if it would be allowed to write function offsetSet($key, &$value){...} -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38118&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38118&r=mysqlcfg
