From: mike at silverorange dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: no property_exists() equivalent for magic properties
Description: ------------ There is currently no way to determine if a magic __get() property exists. The __isset() function should use 'isset(null) == false' semantics so it cannot be used to reliably check if a magic property exists. I propose a new magic method __property_exists($name) or __propertyExists($name) be created that hooks into the property_exists() function. It would return true iff __get($name) returns any value. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44857&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44857&r=mysqlcfg
