First of all, I don't appreciate your snotty attitude. Second, if you actuallyread the post, you would realize this is not the same issue. In that post they were actually modifying a value, in my post, I'm simply using the __get, __set as magic methods in order to call a different function. This is VERY different. It's ok for the call to Set and not raise the notice. If you look at the functions there's nothing in danger of being modifed incorrectly. Please read before you post an incorrect response. I know its hard from that pedestool your on, but sometimes it's best to come down, and discuss things with other people. I would like to think myself as educated in the ways of PHP, and might consider fixing this myself, and submitting it to the repository. I was hoping to save myself the trouble, and let someone more experienced with the php internals work on it, but if you won't fix it, I will.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-18 14:26:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oops, wrong id, see bug #42030 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-25 19:49:07] asnyder at mddev dot com 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-25 19:43:22] [EMAIL PROTECTED] >But it DOES have an affect. But the code is STILL wrong, that's what the warning is trying to tell you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-25 19:39:07] asnyder at mddev dot com 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 remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
