Description:
------------
Recursive use of __get() results in the misleading error message
"Notice: Undefined property: someClass::$foo in file.php". It appears
at first as though __get() is not being called for some properties and
there is no apparent reason why, when the problem is really accidental
recursion. PHP correctly detects the recursion and aborts __get(), but
the error gives no indication of the recursion problem and it can be
very difficult to figure out why __get() is not being called.
I can provide a fix for zend_object_handlers.c, but it really is just a
60-second change to capture the recursiveness error and output an
alternative error message.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class test {
function __get($var) {
return $this->$var;
}
}
$obj = new test;
echo $obj->foo;
Expected result:
----------------
Warning: Recursive use of __get() while accessing test::$foo; cannot
read property recursive::$foo in <file> on line x
Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Undefined property: test::$foo in <file> on line x
