From: Operating system: *nix PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:read_property not invoked on write thru a nested object
Description: ------------ I have a custom object implementation with its own read_property and write_property handlers where some properties are also objects. Attemptying to write a property within the nested object when the nested object has not been previously accessed via read_property will cause a stdClass object to be invented and assigned to the property instead of calling read_property to get the underlying object. If the the first access is a write to a property of a nested object, then read_property is not called for the nested object and a stdClass object is invented and assigned: $obj->nestedObject->someProperty = someValue; assert( 'stdClass' == get_class( $obj->nestedObject ) ); However, if the first access is a read then it all works fine: $someValue = $obj->nestedObject->someProperty; // read_property is called for nestedObject $obj->nestedObject->someProperty = someValue; // and now the write works First performing any kind of read access allows this to work just fine. E.g. this works $obj->nestedObject; $obj->nestedObject->someProperty = someValue; Or this: $avalue = $obj->nestedObject->someProperty; // calls read_property on nestedObject $obj->nestedObject->someProperty = someValue; The problem only occurs when the very first access is a write to a properpty of the nested property. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53931&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53931&r=mysqlcfg
