for anyone who's thinking about traversing some variable tree
by using __get() and __set(). i tried to do this and found one
problem: you can handle couple of __get() in a row by returning
an object which can handle consequential __get(), but you can't
handle __get() and __set() that way.
i.e. if you want to:
<?php
print($obj->val1->val2->val3); ?> - this will work,
but if you want to:
<?php
$obj->val1->val2 = $val; ?> - this will fail with message:
"Fatal error: Cannot access undefined property for object with
overloaded property access"
however if you don't mix __get() and __set() in one expression,
it will work:
<?php
$obj->val1 = $val; $val2 = $obj->val1->val2; $val2->val3 = $val; ?>
as you can see you can split __get() and __set() parts of
expression into two expressions to make it work.
by the way, this seems like a bug to me, will have to report it.
