Fixed in CVS HEAD and PHP_5_2. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-06 10:19:01] slavikus at gmail dot com I do agree with the brjann points and also vote for this behavior to be fixed; there's no way for me to knowing if any particular property is overloaded or not, neither it is right to treat them differently from any other properties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-22 12:20:30] tim dot pickup at gmail dot com Just adding a comment to say this "feature" is also going to cause me a lot of pain changing code. Any reason it is "expected behaviour" or do we just get a 4 word reply basically saying **** you ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-15 19:32:06] davidm at marketo dot com I agree strongly with brjann's analysis. Once the language allows overloaded properties on an object, it's completely confusing to say that overloaded array properties are immutable while all other property types are mutable, and also that non-overloaded array properties can be iterated with foreach but overloaded array properties cannot be iterated. I've got a significant amount of code that will have to be rewritten because of this change. The symfony framework encourages a design pattern that uses overloaded properties on the action objects and any instances where the overloaded property is an array are now broken. Other symfony users have run into the problem as well (http://www.symfony-project.com/forum/index.php/m/15684/#msg_15684). David Morandi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-06 22:18:09] mail at peter-thomassen dot de I do agree with Denis in the sense that one should disable the notice for read access (using foreach, p.ex.), until a global solution including write access is found (or not). This doesn't harm anyone and would save me some lines of error_reporting() changes. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-06 11:08:10] brjann at gmail dot com "// This should not raise notice foreach( $a->overloaded_property as $val ) echo $val."<br />\n"; // This should raise notice $a->overloaded_property[] = 6;" I do not agree with that. Neither of the examples should raise a notice. There is no reason for $a->overloadedprop = $bar to work, but not $a->overloadedprop[$foo] = $bar or foreach($a->overloadedprop){} Either properties can be overloaded and therefore read, assigned and iterated over, or not. Overloaded properties should behave the same way as ordinary properties, or else the object's behaviour is unpredictable. Perhaps the solution of using __get() to return a reference is unsatisfactory in some way, but the behaviour should still be there. /Brjánn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
