Bug description:Unwanted call of the magic __call method

Description:
------------
hello everyone ;



In the documentation, it's said that the magic __call method is called when
an inaccessible member is read. But I've small issue in my current class
with a setter method. When I try to set an Alias on an inexistent member,
the magic __call method is also called.



To solve the problem, I uses a workaround like this in the setter method:



public static function &setAlias($index, &$value) {



        $instance = self::getInstance();

        // Small workaround to avoid call of magic __get().

        $instance->$index = '';



        return $instance->$index = &$value;

}



Strange behavior, no ? It's bug or not, if not, can you explain to me the
reason of this statement ? I uses php 5.2.6.



Sorry, for my poor english, I'm french.

Test script:
---------------
class Registry {



        protected static $_instance = null;



        public static function getInstance() {



                if(self::$_instance == null) {

                        self::$_instance = new self;

                }



                return self::$_instance;

        }



        public function __get($index) {



                print 'Oh my god...';

        }



        public static function &setAlias($index, &$value) {



                $instance = self::getInstance();

                return $instance->$index = &$value;

        }

}



class myObject {



        protected static $_instance = null;



        public static function &getInstance() {



                if(self::$_instance == null) {

                        self::$_instance = new self();

                }



                return  self::$_instance;

        }



}



// Here, I want register a `myObject` instance by reference (not by object
identifier)

Registry::setAlias('MyData', myObject::getInstance());



echo '<pre>';

        var_dump(Registry::getInstance());

echo '</pre>';



Expected result:
----------------
object(Registry)#2 (1) {

  ["MyData"]=>

  &object(myObject)#1 (0) {

  }

}



Actual result:
--------------
Oh my god... Notice: Indirect modification of overloaded property
Registry::$MyData has no effect in /var/www/test.php on line 67 Fatal
error: Cannot assign by reference to overloaded object in /var/www/test.php
on line 67
