Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
Same as bug #38102.

Ok, HOW is this code, or code like it "WRONG"? The code has the desired
effect. The purpose of the code is to allow the user to call a function
via the __set, __get without having to actually call the actual
function. For instance, if one would want to have properties. Regardless
of what you think the code should be, the code has the effect that the
developer wanted, thus the code is not wrong, it's just confusing to
you.
What EXACTLY is wrong with this code? What effect is it having that is
not the desired effect?

>But it DOES have an affect.
But the code is STILL wrong, that's what the warning is trying to tell
you.

But it DOES have an affect. It did change the SomeVariable value of the
actual object regardless of the __get returning by value. In these
situations it should NOT trigger the warning. Run the example, and store
values in the SomeVariable, you'll see that the actual value DOES get
changed. Lets not just assume things without atually reading and running
the example. If you were in this situation you would most definately not
want it to throw this warning. Realize that much of the Web 2.0 movement
using php relise on the __get, and __set methods, and in throwing this
warning higly discourages it's use, even when the application of it,
such as my example is perfectly legitimate and valid.

The __get() function returns by value, not by reference, hence the
warning.
