ID: 54620 User updated by: jeroen at asystance dot nl Reported by: jeroen at asystance dot nl Summary: ReflectionClass::setStaticPropertyValue does not work for protected/private Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Reflection related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks for the workaround. Access modifiers are for visibility between classes, so I don't see circumventing them through Reflection as a problem. If you cast en object to an array, you also get the private / protected variables (see #44273). Your workaround (using getProperty) also works just fine. So I think the way to go is just enable access to private / protected members. Whatever the design decision though, a Fatal Error is certainly a bug :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-28 16:25:19] felipecg00 at gmail dot com I can reproduce this, still I think that in this case, protecting the private and protected resources is the correct behavior. You might want to check this: $rT = new ReflectionClass( 'Tehst' ); var_dump( $s = $rT->getProperty('prot') ); var_dump( $s->isStatic() ); $s->setAccessible(1); $s->setValue("myProt"); var_dump( $s->getValue() ); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-28 12:45:27] jeroen at asystance dot nl Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/reflectionclass.setstaticpropertyvalue#Description --- ReflectionClass::getProperties() shows public, protected and private members, but ReflectionClass::setStaticPropertyValue throws a fatal error if a protected or private member is set. The error message says that "Class Tehst does not have a property named prot", which is plain wrong. Test script: --------------- <?php class Tehst { public static $pub = 'pub'; protected static $prot = 'prot'; private static $priv = 'priv'; } $rT = new ReflectionClass( 'Tehst' ); var_export( $rT->getProperties() ); $rT->setStaticPropertyValue( 'pub', 'myPub' ); $rT->setStaticPropertyValue( 'prot', 'myProt' ); $rT->setStaticPropertyValue( 'priv', 'myPriv' ); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array ( 0 => ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array( 'name' => 'pub', 'class' => 'Tehst', )), 1 => ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array( 'name' => 'prot', 'class' => 'Tehst', )), 2 => ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array( 'name' => 'priv', 'class' => 'Tehst', )), )pub: myPub Actual result: -------------- array ( 0 => ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array( 'name' => 'pub', 'class' => 'Tehst', )), 1 => ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array( 'name' => 'prot', 'class' => 'Tehst', )), 2 => ReflectionProperty::__set_state(array( 'name' => 'priv', 'class' => 'Tehst', )), )pub: myPub PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Class Tehst does not have a property named prot' in /home/jay/public_html/alis/newfile.php:14 Stack trace: #0 /home/jay/public_html/alis/newfile.php(14): ReflectionClass->setStaticPropertyValue('prot', 'myProt') #1 {main} thrown in /home/jay/public_html/alis/newfile.php on line 14 Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Class Tehst does not have a property named prot' in /home/jay/public_html/alis/newfile.php:14 Stack trace: #0 /home/jay/public_html/alis/newfile.php(14): ReflectionClass->setStaticPropertyValue('prot', 'myProt') #1 {main} thrown in /home/jay/public_html/alis/newfile.php on line 14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54620&edit=1
