Hi,

This is interesting and it appears the following change makes the snippet work as expected:

    public function &__get($name);

I think is that the $this->anArray['bar'] = 4;

Generate the following bytcode:

0  FETCH_OBJ_W                                      $0      'anArray'
1  ZEND_ASSIGN_DIM                                          $0, 'bar'

Will the folloing :

echo $this->anArray;
$this->anArray['bar'];

0  FETCH_OBJ_R                                     $0      'anArray'
1  ECHO
...



IMHO I think that the complexity of the VM is way to hight.
That is something I am strongly agree with Gilad Bracha on adding new
feature into a language:

Look at the last paragraph:

Hi,


I came across a strange behavior when using the magic method __get and
some instance variable that should be an array.
Consider the following example:


class A
{

public function __get($name)
{
$this->$name = array();
return $this->$name;
}

public function test()
{
$this->_zork['bar'] = 67;
}
}

$a = new A;
$a->test();

var_dump($a);

So could someone explain me what is the semantic of the above statements?

Thanks
