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 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-01 18:56:44] phpbugs at thequod dot de A better workaround is, of course, to just define the member with "var" in the class header. But it's still a bug IMHO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-01 18:41:14] phpbugs at thequod dot de Description: ------------ Creating an array through $obj->a[] or $obj->a[$index] does not create an array, if you use overloading through the "__get()" method. This happens with PHP_5_2 and 5.1.6 from Ubuntu, which I've also tested. The workaround seems to be to initialize the member explicitly to "array()". Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class A { function __get($v) { // note: even returning array() here won't fix it } } $A = new A(); $A->foo[1] = 1; var_dump( $A->foo ); $A->foo[] = 2; var_dump( $A->foo ); $A->foo['a'] = 3; var_dump( $A->foo ); $A->foo = array(); var_dump( $A->foo ); $A->foo = 1; var_dump( $A->foo ); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { [1]=> int(1) } array(2) { [1]=> int(1) [2]=> int(2) } array(3) { [1]=> int(1) [2]=> int(2) ["a"]=> int(3) } array(0) { } int(1) Actual result: -------------- NULL NULL NULL array(0) { } int(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39337&edit=1
