ID: 45595 Comment by: elloromtz at gmail dot com Reported by: robin_fernandes at uk dot ibm dot com Summary: ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST does not behave as documented with foreach Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: SPL related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2CVS-2008-07-22 (snap) Assigned To: colder Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: 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 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-26 08:11:05] daniphp at gmail dot com 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 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-16 18:39:34] le...@php.net This is not a bug, as explained by rquadling at php dot net above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-25 12:00:34] rquadl...@php.net 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+) ...

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45595&edit=1
