ID: 24808 Comment by: alan at akbkhome dot com Reported By: Bertrand dot Willm at laposte dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.0.0b1 (beta1) New Comment:
This has been discussed on zend2-engine, getters and setters on 'defined' vars is a feature that a number of people would like to see.. AFAIK It just needs a voluteer to propose some code.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-28 17:49:44] Bertrand dot Willm at laposte dot net It is quite nice to tell me to double-check the documentation, but I don't see were it is written that the name given to __get and __set methods can't correspond to private or protected members. If it is not written, this could be nice to add that information in the documentation. Perhaps that for a clean programmation this is not a good idea to use the same name for members and properties. Anyway, after analisys, I found that the current implementation of __get and __set is an unsatsifactory answer to properties. It is far away from what is proposed in C#, Delphi (and of course C++ builder) or visual basic. To my knowledge, there is no equivalent in java or C++. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-28 13:59:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Try this: <?php class CBaseClass { private $var = 'default'; function get($name) { return $this->var; } } $object = new CBaseClass(); echo $object->get('name'); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-25 16:09:31] Bertrand dot Willm at laposte dot net Description: ------------ I want to have access to private or protected member throw __get and __set method to control the access or just to let a read access to this member (and then __set is not used). To do that I have to choose an other name for this property. I can't use the same name as the private member. PHP could test if there is __get or __set method and use them before telling ther is an error. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class CBaseClass { private $var = 'default'; function __get($name) { return $this->var; } } $object = new CBaseClass(); echo $object->var; ?> Expected result: ---------------- default Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Cannot access private property cbaseclass::$var in c:\sitesweb\www\test.php5 on line 11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24808&edit=1
