Maybe I'm using "reentrant" incorrectly, but here is what I mean...
class Test { function __get($nm) { if ($nm == 'x') return $this->func(); elseif ($nm == 'y') return 'y'; elseif ($nm == 'xx') return 'x'; } function func() { return $this->xx; } } $t = new Test(); print $t->y . "\n"; print $t->xx . "\n"; print $t->x . "\n"; print $t->func() . "\n";
I would expect the following code to output: y x x x
But instead, it outputs: y x
x
Is this a bug? This limitation is not documented (maybe it should be?).
its not a bug, I believe its documented somewhere how this works. bottom line __get() does not work from 'inside' the class/object, so do something like instead:
function func() { return $this->__get('xx'); }
which may not please the soul, but does work ;-)
Hehe, my soul is hard to please...=P
Actually, __get() does work from inside the class. In the sample code I posted, func() does indeed return 'x' when called from main. It does not work when called from within a call to __get(). In other words, $this->attribute does not work if __get() appears anywhere in the call stack.
Its just a small annoyance.
I think it would be more annoying if __get() would be recursively called to infinity.
