ID: 37259 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: tbarstow at workflowbydesign dot com Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.* New Comment:
Seems you are missing your own point. The error message and all related is all based on the fact that ArrayAccess protocol (member function signatures) are not capeable of handling references. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-01 15:44:45] tbarstow at workflowbydesign dot com You didn't really read my bug report. This is a report about a PHP generated error message, not the fact that ArrayAccess can't deal with returning references. Please re-open the bug or provide a response that actually relates to the bug I am reporting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-01 15:37:10] [EMAIL PROTECTED] We cannot change this. We could only probably add something more, a new additionaö inteface that can only deal with references. ...We coukd but we don't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-01 14:49:34] tbarstow at workflowbydesign dot com Description: ------------ This is related to the issue with ArrayAccess not being able to return by reference. See: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=32983 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34783 However this is NOT a re-post of the above referenced bug. Rather, I am reporting a bug that relates to the error message that results from this situation. The error message reads: "Objects used as arrays in post/pre increment/decrement must return values by reference". Two issues with this: 1. It's not possible to do. "Objects used as arrays" cannot return values by reference, as noted in the bugs referenced above. 2. This doesn't only happen in post/pre increment/decrement cases. There are a couple of examples in the bugs linked above; others exist as well (consider passing $array_access_object['foo'] to a function that takes a reference, for example). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37259&edit=1
