#26441 [NEW]: Strange behavior when __set() return a member variable

[chernyshevsky at hotmail dot com]

From:             chernyshevsky at hotmail dot com
Operating system: Win32
PHP version:      5.0.0b2 (beta2)
PHP Bug Type:     Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description:  Strange behavior when __set() return a member variable

Description:
------------
When __set() returns an element of a member array, it seems to corrupt the
array. Works as expected when "return" is removed. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Test {
        var $values;
        
        function __construct() {
                $this->values = array();
        }

        function __set($name, $value) {
                return $this->values[$name] = $value;
        }

        function __get($name) {
                return $this->values[$name];
        }
};

$a = new Test();
$a->greeting = "Hello";
echo $a->greeting;

Expected result:
----------------
Hello

Actual result:
--------------
