One can still use unset if one writes:
--- 8 ---
$a = ArrayObject(Array('foo' = Array('bar' = 1)));
// Won't work ($a['foo']['bar'] is still 1)
// Also a notice is displayed: PHP Notice: Indirect modification of
// overloaded element of ArrayObject has no effect in php shell code on line ...
var_dump($a);
unset($a['foo']['bar']);
var_dump($a);
// This works
var_dump($a);
$v = $a['foo'];
unset($v['bar']);
var_dump($a);
// This also works
//$v = $a['foo']['bar'];
//unset($v);

Just checked with php 5.3.3 and there the code runs as expected, so at least
setting works with a nested array.
For the record I tried the original bugreport code as well and got the same
result, on a linux system, 64 bits (debian), but also this notice:
PHP Notice: Indirect modification of overloaded element of ArrayObject has no
effect in /var/www/test/test.php on line 22
So at least PHP is honest in that it doesn't work :)

I found a workaround for the problem that suddenly the parent object has any
property you try to access and has it filled with the previously set array.
If the containing object has its own __get() method which always returns NULL,
the object is safe again. So this code works as expected:
class IWouldLikeToPointOutABug {
function __get( $name ) {
return NULL;
}
}
$buggy = new IWouldLikeToPointOutABug();
$buggy-bug = new ArrayObject( );
$buggy-bug['foo']['bar'] = true;
echo This looks normal\r\n;
var_dump( $buggy );
echo This should be NULL\r\n;
var_dump( $buggy-thisIsNotHere );
One drawback is that you cannot assign properties by reference anymore because
you're now using the __get() overloading method.
This does not fix the original bug where unsetting fails.
BTW. Our original workaround involved creating our own arrayobject by
implementing all the array interfaces, but that will not work either. When you
do this:
$arrayobject['unsetkey']['key'] = $value;
The offsetSet method is never called for 'unsetKey', just the offsetGet. So
there is no way to implement the correct behaviour.

It's worse than this, ArrayObject gets confused on where to put the data and
mangles any containing object:
test script:
class IWouldLikeToPointOutABug {
}
$buggy = new IWouldLikeToPointOutABug();
$buggy-bug = new ArrayObject( );
$buggy-bug['foo']['bar'] = true;
echo This looks normal\r\n;
var_dump( $buggy );
echo This should be NULL\r\n;
var_dump( $buggy-thisIsNotHere );
Results in:
This looks normal
object(IWouldLikeToPointOutABug)#1 (1) {
[bug]=
object(ArrayObject)#2 (0) {
}
}
This should be NULL
array(1) {
[bar]=
bool(true)
}

Description:
Using deep arrays unset itself or ArrayObject misbehaves. It silently does
nothing.
The problem lies in iteration 3 that mixes ArrayObject and classic arrays.
Test script:
---
echo iteration1\n;
$arr = new ArrayObject();
$arr['foo'] = new ArrayObject();
$arr['foo']['bar'] = true;
unset($arr['foo']['bar']);
var_dump($arr);
echo iteration2\n;
$arr = array();
$arr['foo']['bar'] = true;
unset($arr['foo']['bar']);
var_dump($arr);
echo iteration3\n;
$arr = new ArrayObject();
$arr['foo']['bar'] = true;
unset($arr['foo']['bar']);
var_dump($arr);
Expected result:
iteration1
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) {
[storage:ArrayObject:private]=
array(1) {
[foo]=
object(ArrayObject)#2 (1) {
[storage:ArrayObject:private]=
array(0) {
}
}
}
}
iteration2
array(1) {
[foo]=
array(0) {
}
}
iteration3
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) {
[storage:ArrayObject:private]=
array(1) {
[foo]=
array(0) {
}
}
}
Actual result:
--
iteration1
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) {
[storage:ArrayObject:private]=
array(1) {
[foo]=
object(ArrayObject)#2 (1) {
[storage:ArrayObject:private]=
