Summary: ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST does not behave as
documented with foreach
Status: Not a bug

ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST seems to work in scattered versions of 5.3.x
I have confirmed it working for 5.3.21 but it does NOT work for 5.3.23 nor
5.3.15
By the way, how exactly isn't this a bug? Is it intentional for it to work in
scattered versions of 5.3.x?
If so the documentation should reflect this

But the later example proves that:
"The ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST doesn't seem to alter the behaviour of
ArrayObject in any noticeable way"
so the PHP documentation is wrong ?

This is not a bug, as explained by rquadling at php dot net above.

The ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST doesn't seem to alter the behaviour of
ArrayObject in any noticeable way. Setting properties on an instance of
ArrayObject at runtime adds the properties to the instance, rather than storing
them as key/value pairs in the internal array. $o->prop = val is a property
with or without this flag and cannot be accessed via $o['prop']
It would seem ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS is what turns properties into
key/value pairs and allows you to access the key/value pairs as instance
properties. $o->prop = val is the same as $o['prop'] = val.
<?php
error_reporting(-1);
$a = array('first' => 'a');
// Build objects
$o1 = new ArrayObject($a
);
$o2 = new ArrayObject($a, ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST
);
$o3 = new ArrayObject($a,
ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS);
$o4 = new ArrayObject($a, ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST |
ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS);
$ao = array($o1, $o2, $o3, $o4);
foreach($ao as $o) {
// Add a property.
$o->last = 'z';
// Show flags, foreach() and properties.
echo
'Flags set to ', str_pad(decbin($o->getFlags()), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT),
PHP_EOL,
print_r($o, True), PHP_EOL,
'Foreach:', PHP_EOL;
foreach($o as $k => $v) {
echo " $k => $v", PHP_EOL;
}
echo
'Properties:', PHP_EOL,
" first => {$o->first}", PHP_EOL,
" last => {$o->last}", PHP_EOL,
PHP_EOL;
}
?>
outputs (using 5.3+) ...

Description:
------------
The SPL documentation states that if the ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST flag is
set on an ArrayObject instance:
"Properties of the object have their normal functionality when accessed as
list (var_dump, foreach, etc.)"
(see
http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/classArrayObject.html#daebe26f8478746da33c266a730714a9
)
This flag does affect var_dump(), but it seems to have no impact on foreach.
See reproduce code.
I'm not sure whether this is a functional problem or a documentation problem.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST:
// Properties of the object have their normal functionality when accessed as
list (var_dump, foreach, etc.)
echo "Create instance of ArrayObject and add some normal properties...\n";
$ao = new ArrayObject(array('x', 'y', 'z'), ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST);
$ao->p1 = 1;
$ao->p2 = 2;
$ao->p3 = 3;
echo "\nGet property list with var_dump:\n";
var_dump($ao);
echo "\nGet property list with foreach:\n";
foreach ($ao as $key=>$value) {
echo " $key=>$value\n";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Create instance of ArrayObject and add some normal properties...
Get property list with var_dump:
object(ArrayObject)#1 (3) {
["p1"]=>
int(1)
["p2"]=>
int(2)
["p3"]=>
int(3)
}
Get property list with foreach:
p1=>1
p2=>2
p3=>3
Actual result:
--------------
Create instance of ArrayObject and add some normal properties...
Get property list with var_dump:
object(ArrayObject)#1 (3) {
["p1"]=>
int(1)
["p2"]=>
int(2)
["p3"]=>
int(3)
}
Get property list with foreach:
0=>x
1=>y
2=>z
