object-overloading: why not allow recursive calls? (5.1) hey, in zend_object_handlers.c function zend_std_read_property we protect against calling the get function of an object if we're already in a get() function. (look for zobj->in_get) in that function. i don't think we should be doing this. simplyfied example: <?php class test { function get($offset) { echo "get($offset)\n"; switch ($offset) { case 'name': return "name"; case 'length': return strlen($this->name); } } } $a = new test; var_dump($a->length); ?> outputs: get(length) int(0) but should say: get(length) get(name) int(4) i think recursive gets are highly useful and should be allowed. if we really want to protect against recursion (here) we have two real options: -a- protect against get(ing) the same property ...
